  1. Special thanks are due to Maj-Britt Sundin creator of the Genealogy and Local history of Jämshög and Kyrkhult parish in Blekinge, Sweden web site.
  2. Information from Maj-Britt Sundin in 30 January 2008: "Charlotta Scholdberg's parents were a tanner called Bengt Sšderberg born around 1760 and his wife Helena Maria Tilosius born November 23, 1765 in the city of Karlskrona in Blekinge (Karlkrona Amiralitetsfšrsamling is the name of the parish). They both died September 9, 1808 when they drowned when the ship they were on sank in hard weather outside of Kristianopel when they were on their way to …land (an island upwards from Kristianopel). Charlotte had 6 siblings."
  3. Special thanks are due to Amir Sherif and his extensive research on the Sköldberg and Söderberg lines in Sweden. Our communications in June and July 2014 re-ignited interest in my Schöldberg and Söderberg lines.
  4. Special thanks to Anna Herbst of Sweden and Australia for her research on the Söderberg and Schöldberg lines as made available via her Anna Söderströms Släktträd Ancestry Family Tree. As a result valuable additions to the genealogy data above include marriage dates for Bengt and Helena and a full listing of their children. The same information has been added to the Bengt and Helena Söderberg Family Chart along with detailed information Anna Herbst extracted and translated to English on their cause of death.

    My connection to Anna Herbst is through Bengt Söderberg and his wife Helena Maria Tilosius and two of their children: Charlotta Söderberg for me and Dorothea Söderberg for Anna Herbst. Bengt Söderberg and his wife Helena Maria Tilosius are our respective 4x-Great Grandparents making us 5th cousins.

    At this time, Ancestry DNA results do not show a match between Anna Herbst and myself, Dave Jordan. It is not known why this is so. There could be a number of reasons, but perhaps based on the mixing of DNA throuh 6 generations for each of us, the connection has washed out or too small to show a match. It is hoped, a connection might be made via other Söderberg offspring in the future. See Genealogy Source Records below for additional information on the death of Bengt Söderberg and his wife Helena Maria Tilosius.
