It was the company "AB Hem på landet" (translates to "homes in the coutryside Inc") that started to build small villas for cityfamilies that wanted to move out from the city. Here are four photos of the villa from 1904.

Now we can start using our Wiberg/Blomberg descendant discussion board in order to discuss the photos, genealogical research or just share the family anecdotes as they are remembered today. More...
Now we also have an interactive map on our site so that we can pin-point the locations where our common ancestors have lived. More...

Here are the latest contribution of family photos for our common family album. To the left is the Elmblades in the early 1880's. The two little girls Ella and Emilie Elmblade eventually married the two brothers David and Josef Blomberg. The photo in the middle is a portrait of a young Josef Blomberg and to the right is a group-picture taken when the family of Hilma and Henrik Tjäder visited Josef Blomberg in La Grange, Illinois in 1910. In that picture, we also find David and Magnus Blomberg - two of the brothers of Hilma and Josef.

Thanks to Roberta Blomberg in Maryland we have now the opportunity to read english translations of some of the letters Karl Magnus Blomberg wrote to his son Joseph, just about one hudred years ago! More...
Today we launch the website "Släktbild" for the Wiberg and Blomberg descendants worldwide. The primary purpose of this website is to help the family community to inventory and identify the persons in our old family photographs, probably hiding in shoeboxes and closets in the homes of many of us. But, the purpose is also to share results of genealogical research and, by all means, help keeping the family anecdotes alive. As "family" in this case we count ancestors and descendants from Knut and Jenny Wiberg and their siblings. They grew up in Fellingsbro parish in Västmanland, Sweden, during the late 19th century. Many of the persons emigrated to America where lots of descendants live today. Knut and Jenny eventually moved to Stockholm but are nowadays resting in the Spånga parish cemetery. More...
This is Knut and Jenny Wiberg. Jenny who was born Blomberg was the daughter of the schoolteacher Karl Magnus Blomberg in Ytter Ekeby, Fellingsbro parish. He is the one sitting in the logo of this website.
The family name Wiberg is used in different spellings by different branches of the family of today. There is varieties as Widberg, Viberg and Wiberg. Already in the old records from 18th century different spellings occur, probably depending on which priest or military administrator that happened to be at the pen. But, what made the two brothers Karl-Gustav Widberg (b. 1860) and Knut Wiberg (b. 1863) to choose to spell their names in different ways?
