Annie Rydberg (married names Oman and possibly Anderson) of Minneapolis
I am looking for any information I can find about my great, great grandmother Annie Rydberg (or Ryberg), who married my great, great grandfather Gustaf V. Oman on May 16, 1886 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and had a son (my great grandfather) Carl Gustaf Oman on January 17, 1887.Her husband Gustaf remarried just a few years later to Christine Swanson in 1890 (also in Minneapolis), but I do not know if Annie had died or if she and Gustaf divorced.I do know that their son Carl Gustaf was given up for adoption by Nels and Johanna Lillyquist of rural Lake Prairie Township, Nicollet County, MN, but I don't know the circumstances for their doing so.Gustaf had been acquaintances of the Lillyquists when he worked for their neighbor Nels Nelson, and his brother Carl Axel Oman had worked for the Lillyquists as a farm hand in the early 1880s.
Annie immigrated from Sweden, but I do not know when, nor do I know anything else for sure about her.An 1880 census record shows a 20-year-old Annie Rydberg working in Minneapolis as a house servant for the Abrahamsons, but I don't know if that's her.Various migration records and passenger lists show young women by her name coming to America in the 1870s and early 1880s, but none necessarily directly destined for Minnesota.The one I suspect currently as possibly being her is a Swedish emigration record departing Gottenberg, Sweden, with her originating in Finspang, Orebro, Sweden, bound for Chicago on May 7, 1880, but of course, the real Annie may be someone else.
There is a record of an Annie Oman marrying a John Anderson in Minneapolis in 1893, but again, I don't know if she is the same Annie Oman that had married Gustaf.
I and my Oman family would greatly appreciate any information someone might provide us that sheds light on Annie Rydberg's background or what became of her.
Cheers!
