Alma Sjöberg was born 11 May 1868 in Folkärna (Parish), Dalarna, Sweden, to parents Johan Ersson Sjöberg and Johanna Jernberg. Folkärna Parish is situated on the Dalälven River and Lake Bäsingen and is considered to be a part of the city of Avesta today. It is serviced by the post office of Krylbo. Folkärna Kyrka (Church) is located in the area of Lund, very close to Lake Bäsingen.

Alma married Lars Johan Andersson, son of Anders Persson and Brita Jonsdotter, around 1889.
Their daughter Alma Victoria was born 18 Jan 1890 in Stora Tuna, Dalarna, Sweden. Stora Tuna is just outside of the city of Borlänge and close to the current location of the Dala Airport.
Their daughter Alma Victoria was born 18 Jan 1890 in Stora Tuna, Dalarna, Sweden. Stora Tuna is just outside of the city of Borlänge and close to the current location of the Dala Airport.
Lars Johan Anderson, age 26, Hustru (wife) Alma, age 22, and Dotter (daughter) Alma, age 8/12, all from Kopparberg (now Dalarna), Stora Tuna (Parish), departed from Göteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden, 19 Sep 1890 aboard the Ariosto headed for Grimbsby / Hull, England. They list their final destination as Iron Mountain, Michigan.

Once they landed in New York, they made their way to Sagola in Dickinson County, Michigan..
A son, Charles, was born 28 Jul 1891 in Sagola, Dickinson County, Michigan, but died of intestinal catarrh 18 May 1892 and the age of 9 months.
Their daughter Hilda was born 3 Aug 1893 in Sagola Township, Dickinson County, Michigan.
Lars John, Alma, Alma Victoria, and Hilda are enumerated in the Michigan State Census in 1894 living in Dickinson County. Lars John Anderson is age 30, Alma (Sjoberg) Anderson is age 25, (Alma) Victoria Anderson is age 46 (should be 4), and Hilda is age 10/12.
From the 1986 book by Darryl Ertel, "Sagola's Early Years: A History of Sagola, Michigan" starting on pg. 145:
"There was another family of Andersons living in Sagola prior to 1894. It was Lars John Anderson and his wife Alma. They immigrated from Sweden in 1890. Lars was born in 1864 and Alma in 1869. He was an edger in the sawmill. They had at least four children, three born in Sagola. They are: Victoria born in 1889 in Sweden, Charles born July 28, 1891, in Sagola, died May 18, 1892, Hilday born August 3, 1893, and Augusta born May 7, 1895. Charles was one of the earliest births and deaths in Sagola."
A copy of this book is held at the Dickinson County Library in Iron Mountain, Michigan, and they were kind enough to make an Interlibrary Loan to my local library in Lebanon, Ohio.
Lars John and Alma had more kids before the turn of the century. Augusta Wilhelmina was born 7 May 1895 in Sagola, followed by Edward born 15 Jan 1898, also in Sagola, and William 24 Sep 1899, born in Victoria, Ontonagon County, Michigan.

His body was found in June on the shore of the Ontonagon River about a mile downstream from the bridge to the Victoria Mine. It was believed he committed suicide. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Ontonagon, Ontonagon County, Michigan.

After Lars John's death, Alma had a child with Per Olaf "Peter" Anderson. Victor Clarence Anderson was born 17 Jun 1910 and died 22 Mar 1911, at the age of 9 months and 5 days of acute bronchitis.
Peter was first married to Maria Kristina "Mary" Hoglund, daughter of Magnus Andersson Hogland and Brita Kristina Nord, 26 Apr 1891 in Sweden. Following her death 17 Jun 1902, he married her sister, Selma Katrina Hoglund, 20 Sep 1903 in Rockland Township. She died 12 Jul 1906 and he was left a widower with at least four small children. It does not appear that Peter and Alma ever married. He died in May 1951 at Pecks Point at Milford Haven which is a harbor on St Joseph Island in Ontario, Canada. As an aside, the gentleman shown in the photo as Gustaf "Gus" Carlson was married to Alma's sister, Anna Charlotte Sjöberg.
