First, Swedberg is spelled S-W-E-D-B-E-R-G (no "i"). It is pronounced with a short "e", NOT "SWEEEDBERG".
The name is Swedish, although we are a mix: French, Norwegian, Swedish, German, English, Irish, Dutch (mostly Swedish, German, Norwegian).
Many generations ago the family name was Carlson. Due to another Carlson with the same first name swindling our great-great....grandfather out of his property, the name was changed to the less-common Swedberg.
