Anna Stina Nordberg

  Research Notes:

e Summary: Anna Stina Nordberg was born in Östmark parish in Värmland in 1860. She had become a teacher and moved to Ed Parish in Värmland in 1879 [about 75 kms south of Östmark. In 1881 she married Jonas Daniel Andersson (b 1847). They had 7 children, all born in Ed parish (except Signa born in neighboring paish of Kila), with one daughter who died at about age 9 (there is no evidence that another child, Gertrude was born to them.)

In 1897, Anna Stina and the children left for North America. Jonas Andersson did not emigrate. It is not clear why he stayed in Sweden, but he died in 1901 likely due to a stomach ulcer.

I haven't been able to find a marriage date for Anna Stina and James J Erickson although it is likely around 1908. James J Erickson's first wife (Marit Persdotter) died in 1907, and so it likely they married shortly after that (a note on her findagrave page notes that they were married in 1908. There is no indication that James J Erickson and Anna Stina had any children between them.

Anna Stina's sons, Gustav and Karl had both moved to Empire Co in Colorado (east of Denver); they both were married and had children. Her daugther Gertrude (Gerda) married and had children; she lived in Minneapolis. Her daugther Astrid also lived in Minneapolis; she was not married. Anna Stina's other daughter, Singe had moved to Los Angeles; she was not married. Axel, the youngest of Anna Stina's children lived in the Buffalo MN area and later to St Paul; he was not married.
