The father of my great grandmother Johanna, Anders Hedberg, laborer, died in Falköping on Sept. 21, 1875. He was 64.
The estimated total value of his belongings was 90 kronor, around $10.
The estate inventory states that his daughter Maria Christina’s whereabouts were “unknown”.
From the bird’s eye view of the internet, we know that Christina and her family had emigrated in 1870. In 1875 they were living in Cedar Township, Jefferson Co., Iowa.
