Both Sven Johan and his wife Anna Cecilia were both born in Augerum close to Karlskrona, in Blekinge county in southeastern part of Sweden. Sven Johan died in Karlskrona in 1924. Dagny Maria was the oldest. In 1900 she works as a maid in the family of the Admiralty Cantor. She moved to Malmö in 1904 according to public records here in Sweden. In 1907 dec 28th she married Nils Elof Ekberg, a tinsmith born i Fosie, close to Malmö. They have two children in Malmö a son born1907 and a daughter 1911. I understand the family emigrated to the US in 1911. The rest you know better.
