"Hi Sylvia,
Here is a copy of Grandfather’s application for Naturalisation and a Statutory Declaration. I don’t know why he put 1878 as his birth year? "
"I would have picked the same guy with the information you've got. There would not be any doubt until you put all those population registers together and follow the continuous Swedish breadcrumbs. I have been doing this stuff for a long time…"
"Wow!, Sylvia... your research has opened up a lot of questions but also highlights where I have gone wrong. On some of the crew lists there was an A Bergman who kept coming up as a carpenter, so I guessed it must have been Grandfather. But one…"
"And more:
In the "regular" 1899-1907 Household Evaluation Books or församlingsbok (the name after 1895) we have:
- Mum Bertha and 2 youngest kids are living in Masthuugets, Göteborgs Oscar Fredrik AIIa 7 (folio 528)
- Adolf is…"
"Wow! That is awesome!! I have a photo of Grandfather and Grandma taken in1915 with their daughter Alice and baby Norman. Norman died that same year in Tenterfield Australia. Then they had the rest of the family, including my father. There is only…"

Adolf comes from Haga in Jan…"
"I have found Grandfather’s Naturalisation papers from 1911. I also have a copy of a certificate that my late uncle sent me. The certificate is from a Pastor in Sweden, dated 1914, and simply states that Adolf Wilhelm (Bergman) Berg was born on…"
" I've found his death with his parents .. let me have a further look"
"I think that you've got the wrong person, but how sure are you reg the names of his parents. Were they mentioned in his 1912 marriage or death (when/where?) certificates? Or were they passed down the family?"
"Hi Sylvia,
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to consider answers to my question. I did find similar information on a census at some stage, which made me question whether or not Grandfather actually went back to Sweden. There was never any…"
"Can I ask a different question first?
I found your website and read: “Adolf Wilhelm Bergman in Goteborg Sweden in 1877. His parents were Otto Wilhelm Bergman and Bertha Amelia Dahlberg”
From this I conclude that he is the person b…"
Berg Family History
My grandfather, Alfred Berg (born Adolf Bergman 1877 Goteborg) came to Australia from Sweden in the early 1900’s aboard a ship.

Grandfather was the postmaster at Yetman, a small town south of Tenterfield.I have found information about his time in Tenterfield, but need more documents relating to when he arrived in Australia, and where he travelled to and from prior to 1912.
