Carl Johan (Olofsson) Holmberg

1. Carl Johan Olofsson⁶ Holmberg (Olof⁵ Andersson, Anders⁴, Anders³ Nilsson, Nils² Halfvardsson, Halvor¹ Nilsson) was born Jul.31.1846 in Svarteborg, and died Jul.31.1915 in Hede Romelanda. He married Julia Theodora Tollesdotter Mar.01.1870, daughter of Tolle Andersson and Anna Svensdotter. She was born Jul.28.1852 in Hällås Kville, and died Dec.21.1931 in Diseröd Romelanda.

On November 8, 1870 Karl Johan and Julia Teodora moved to Grimåsen, also in Mo, page 36 in the same household record. And in the next household record, AI:4, you find them in Grimåsen on page 57 with their children Karl Klemens born on November 23, 1870, Tekla Olivia May 4, 1872, Gustav Alarik March 12, 1874 and Anders Fredrik December 18, 1877.

On March 18, 1880 they moved to Romelanda parish in the southern part of Bohuslän

And in the Romelanda inflyttningslängd B:2 (record of people moving into the parish) you find them as number 16 1880, April 9: Skogvaktare (=Forester) Karl Johan Olofsson with wife and four children, from Mo to Gjärås.

Karl Johan Olofsson and Julia Teodora Tollesdotter lived in Gräsås in Romelanda in 1880. Son Karl Clemens died there 1888 May 17 of epilepsy.

Tekla Olivia moved to Goteborg Domkyrkoförsamling 1892 May 5,
I have some information from a relative in the US that Tekla died in an explosion in Göteborg in 1947.

Gustaf Alarik to Goteborg Garnisonsförsamling 1892 April 22, Anders Fredrik to Uddevalla 1887 February 19. Following children were born in Romelanda, Gräsås:

Hartvig Emanuel 1880 Oct 1 moved to Goteborg Garnisonsförs 1897 Oct 15
Anna Elvira 1883 March
Gerda Matilda 1885 May 1
Henrika Josefina 1887 Nov 10
Jeanna Ottilia 1890 Jan 14
Ernst Victor 1891 Dec 19
Alma Teodora 1894 March 2
Helfrid Margareta 1898 February 16

Carl Johan´s surname was changed to Holmberg Abt 1882, and the family lived in Gräsås 1900 but in 1910 they are not in Romelanda any longer according to the parish books. There is no notice, to which place they have moved.

Carl Johan Olofsson Holmberg moved from Gräsås to Hede, Romelanda, in 1908 together with his wife and the children Helfrid Margareta and Ernst Victor Holmberg. He there became a crofter. He died there 1915 July 31 of kidney trouble and asthma. His son Ernst Victor became a sailor and married 1915 Sept 25 Ingeborg Andersson born in 1886 March 6. I cannot find that they had any children there. In 1920 only the widow Julia Teodora still lived in Hede, Romelanda. As you see above Ernst Victor used the name Holmberg.

Julia Teodora Tollesdotter, The record says that she was born in Kville on July 28, 1852, and that she moved to Mo on March 23, 1870. And the certificate (dated March 4) she brought from Kville to Mo says that she came from Hällesås in Kville. (The certificate is in the Mo church record, HII:3, at Landsarkivet, but is not filmed.)
In 1920 only the widow Julia Teodora still lived in Hede, Romelanda.Julia Teodora died 1931 Dec 21. She had in 1930 moved to a home for old people in Diseröd, Romelanda.
