Family Chart Notes
  1. Clicking individual names under the Parent's/Children's column transfers to that individual's Family Chart.
  2. The birthdate and birthplace for Knut Oscar Scholdberg is highly probable but not confirmed. See the Carl and Charlotta Scholdberg Family Overview for more information on how this was arrived at.
  1. Registration for Mary Elizabeth Scholdberg can be found at 2Q 1870 Poplar 1c, 623 in Poplar. It is believed it is 2Q because while she was born in March, she probably wasn't registered until the 2nd quarter.
  2. Mary Elizabeth is thought to have died before 23 July 1875; probably before April 1881. She was not in the 1881 census, and since her sister with almost the same name, Elizabeth was born 23 July 1875, then it is likely she died before the 1875 date.
