Here, gathered in our beloved South Dakota, are a few members of our Williamson / Mattson Clan. Charles and Luella are to be blamed (be kind, they didn't know what they were doing). We're generally a happy bunch and somewhat intelligent (notwithstanding our tenuous grasp on reality). I'm also proud to say that most of us still have our teeth.

New Information on our Great Grandmother Ida Tornberg from Our New Swedish Family Connection

From the Fortress of Solitude
Pleasant Grove

Hello All!
You will all remember my discovery of the Tornberg Family Association in Sweden and Finland. Well, I found several email addresses of Association members on their web site and wrote to them explaining our problem in researching the family past Ida's parents.

Success! I've been in email contact with a member of the association named Bertie in Sweden. I sent him the information we had and asked if he knew anyone that could help us break through the barrier.

Today I received a response. Using a new online Swedish Genealogy Database, Bertie found our Great Great Grandfather Isak and his wife Maria. We can now trace our Tornberg family back further and he promises more information in the coming days.

This is what he sent today:

Hei,

I've found the connection through Arkiv Digital Online:

Isak Wilhelm, b. 9.12.1844 Pajala
He married 15.4.1883 Maria Brita Johansdotter b. 28.6.1855

His father was
Karl Henrik Tornberg b. 31.10.1819 in Köngänen, Pajala

His father was
Isak Cristian Tornberg b. 4.4.1791 in Köngänen, Pajala

His father was
Isak Tornberg b. 24.8.1755 in Hietaniemi

His father was

Isac Tornberg b. 1677 in Koutokeino

His father was

His father was

More information in coming days,
Br
Bertie

I'm very grateful to Bertie for his assistance in our search for our Swedish and Finnish family ties.

With the information sent by Bertie and a new email from cousin Angie giving me the correct link: (http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=/eng/search/ancestorsearchresults.asp). to track the family back (Thanks Angie!!) we can now display the full family line of the Tornbergs from Today back to the 1600's. There is also the following link with addtional information: http://www.annelikotisaari.net/N.Ulopolitanus.htm#Taulu%20320

    I see that one of the Swedish Finn Historical Society members has posted additional lineage for Tornberg family members on the Society's cooperative database. [circa 2 million names of Swedish-speaking Finns and other Finns and Swedes]. Anyone may register on SFHS' Finlander discussion forum, and also get a password to the TALKO database by sending a GEDcom to the webmaster. Just Google the Society. Regards,
