Facebook gets a bad rap a lot of the time, but it was through Facebook that I found Bertha’s family.

I joined a Facebook page called ‘I am of Swedish Descent’, and posted the question about Bertha to see if anyone in Sweden could locate the information for me. Almost instantly I had an answer.

It seems Bertha’s father had two marriages: the first to Helena Bengtsdotter, and the second to Helena Christoffersdotter.

Carl Johan Dahlberg, Bertha’s father, was a bricklayer (murare) and was born 22 October 1818.

Carl Johan Dahlberg’s parents were Christoffer Dahlberg, a bricklayer, and Elisabeth Lethin (or Ledin). They had:

• Carl Fredric Dahlberg b. 15 July 1814 (d. 22 October 1814)
• Berndt Edvard Dahlberg b. 28 April 1816
• Carl Johan Dahlberg b. 22 October 1818
• Carolina Elisabeth b. 20 May 1821
• Gustaf Reinhold b. 24 September 1824

Carl Johan Dahlberg and Helena Bengtsdotter had the following children:

• Emma Charlotta Dahlberg b. 29 July 1842
• Franz Oscar Dahlberg b. 4 March 1845 – d. 3 April 1845
• Karl Fredrik Dahlberg b. 26 May 1846 – d. 26 October 1846
• Maria Josefina Bernhardina Dahlberg b. 22 January 1848 – d. 11 February 1848
• Berta Amalia Dahlberg b. 13 March 1849 – d. 18 July 1850
• Bertha Amalia Alexandra Dahlberg b. 25 September 1851
• Gustaf Bernhard Leonhard Dahlberg b. 15 March 1853
• Karl Edvard Lexington Dahlberg b. 5 August 1857 – d. 9 December 1858

Carl married Helena Christoffersdotter and they had three children:

• John Hugo Dahlberg b. 1868
• Charles Hugo Dahlberg b. 1869 d. 1872
• Engela Matilda Dahlberg b. 1872

As I find more information, I will add it here.
