Gerda Karolina Morell gave birth to her first daughter on January 18, 1907. The birth of Svea Margareta was recorded in the birth records for Solna,[1] but not until 1911,[2] and it is unclear where her mother lived at the time when she was born. Also, her father was unknown just like the fathers of her siblings: Nils Ivar (1902), Sven Valter (1905), Erik Allan (born 1908, died 1911) and Göta Anna Karolina (born 1911, died 1912).[3]
Her mother married in 1916, and in 1917 Svea Margareta had a sister Göta Ulrika with a known father. Svea Margareta was betrothed to Otto Martin Heribert Lindqvist, when she gave birth to their daughters Evi Margareta in December 1924, and Elli Ulrika in October 1925, but their second daughter lived only a few months.[4] They married on May 15, 1926, in Solna.[5] Then they lived in Oscar, Stockholm, and later in Matteus, Stockholm, where they had son Tord Björn in January 1933. In 1940 they lived in Solna.[6]
On October 22, 1945, they were divorced. Their son lived with her until at least 1950. Apart from a period some time between 1945 and 1947, they lived in Stockholm.[7][8][9] In 1975, she had moved to Kista, Stockholm,[10] and on August 19, 1977, she passed away.[11]
