 | Edward Herbert Matter Husband of Anna Viktoria (Borg) Matter Father of Elaine, Marjorie, Donna and Edward | 17 Apr 2018 | |
 | Erik Jonsson Borg Erik’s Story: Erik's birth name was Stens Erik Jonsson and was later changed to Erik Borg while serving in the Swedish military. His surname Jonsson was dropped and replaced by Borg thereafter. Erik married Anna Ersdotter in Jun 1895 when he was 23 yrs old and Anna was 20. The family homesteaded and farmed land north of Skattungbyn, Sweden, where they raised their two oldest children Eric and Anna until 1913. At that time, Anna became pregnant with Jenny and gave birth to her in Feb 1914. Tragically, Anna succumbed to medical complications related to the birth and died one month later. Anna was 39 yrs old at the time of her death - Erik was 42yrs, Erik Jr 16yrs, and Anna 14 yrs. Erik was left alone and struggled for two years trying to raise his young family - until he was encouraged by Anna's sisters, Mina & Kerstin Nisen to go to America so they could help raise his girls. Mina and Kerstin immigrated to America in 1909 and settled in northern Minnesota. After considering what’s best for his family, Erik happily accepted their offer - so in 1916, he and his two daughters left Sweden and went to live in America. His son, Erik Jr (18yrs), decided to stay in Sweden because WWI was beginning and he was concerned of being accused of military draft evasion. At that time, Eric Sr was 44yrs, Anna 16yrs and Jenny 2. Erik Borg Sr lived in Virginia Minnesota and worked for the Railroad until relocating to Minneapolis prior to his death in 1952. Eric Jr Borg lived in Sweden until his death in 1973. Anna Borg moved to Minneapolis in her early twenties and lived there until her death in 1993. Jenny Adela Borg moved to Minneapolis sometime prior to 1940 and lived there until her death in 2006. | 16 Apr 2018 | |
 | Kerstin Olsdotter Mother of Anna (Ersdotter) Borg Grandmother of Erik Jr, Anna and Adela Borg | 14 Apr 2018 | |
 | Anna (Ersdotter) Borg Anna’s Story: Anna had four names during her lifetime. First, Anna's birth name was Nissapers Anna Ersdotter. Then the homestead name of Nissapers dropped and her became Anna Ersdotter. Then her parents decided to change the family name to Nisen before she married Erik Borg in Jun 1895. She was 20 yrs old and Erik was 23. The family homesteaded and farmed land north of Skattungbyn, Sweden, where they raised their two oldest children Eric and Anna until 1913. At that time, Anna became pregnant with Jenny and gave birth to her in Feb 1914. Tragically, Anna succumbed to medical complications related to the birth and died one month later. Anna was 39 yrs old at the time of her death - Erik was 42yrs, Erik Jr 16yrs, and Anna 14 yrs. Anna was laid to rest in the Skattunge Cemetery, Skattungbyn and her grave site location is now unknown. Erik was left alone and struggled for two years trying to raise his young family - until he was encouraged by Anna's sisters, Mina & Kerstin Nisen to go to America so they could help raise his girls. Mina and Kerstin immigrated to America in 1909 and settled in northern Minnesota. After considering what’s best for his family, Erik decided to accept their offer and in 1916, he and his two daughters left Sweden and went to live in America. His son, Erik Jr (18yrs), decided to stay in Sweden because WWI was beginning and he was concerned of being accused of military draft evasion. At that time, Eric Sr was 44yrs, Anna 16yrs and Jenny 2. Erik Borg Sr lived in Virginia Minnesota and worked for the Railroad until relocating to Minneapolis prior to his death in 1952. Eric Jr Borg lived in Sweden until his death in 1973. Anna Borg moved to Minneapolis in her early twenties and lived there until her death in 1993. Jenny Adela Borg moved to Minneapolis sometime prior to 1940 and lived there until her death in 2006. | 14 Apr 2018 | |
 | SS Kristianiafjord Erik, Anna and Jenny Borg were passengers on this ship as they immigrated from Sweden to America in 1916. The ship departed from Bergen, Norway on Aug 9th, 1916 and arrived New York about 9 days later (according to letters written by Anna to her Grandparents who stayed in Sweden). SS Kristianiafjord was the first ship in the fleet of the Norwegian America Line, built by Cammell Laird in Birkenhead, UK.[1] The name refers to the fjord leading into the Norwegian capital Oslo, at the time called Kristiania. Launched from its shipyard on 23 November 1912, it was put into service in 1913, the same year as its sister ship, SS Bergensfjord. It embarked on its maiden voyage on 4 June that year, sailing from Christiania (Oslo) through Christiansand, Stavanger and Bergen to New York, with the captain S. C. Hiortdahl. Kristianiafjordhad a tonnage of 10,699, and was fitted with wireless and electric light. She could take 1,200 passengers – 100 first class, 250 second class and 850 third class.[2] Kristianiafjord remained on the same route for the next four years, but on 15 June 1917 the ship wrecked near Cape Race, Newfoundland due to navigational error. There were 1144 persons on board at the time, but no lives were lost. About two weeks later, on 28 June, the wreck was destroyed and lost in a storm.[2] | 14 Apr 2018 | |
