Dear Tommy,

His father was Olof Hammarbäck, born May 2nd 1834 in the parish of Idenor, died August 3rd in 1918. He was a blacksmith. In 1890 the family lived in a small village called Tunadal, the village where the first Swedeish steam-operated saw-mill was established in 1849.

Olof Hammarbäck was married to Johanna Katarina Sjöholm who was born January 17th in 1840 in Bjuråker.

Unfortunately we didn´t find anything about Jenny Genberg. We´ve been finding clues but not yet any facts or even the right persons.
