My great-grandfather, John Sandberg, emmigrated from Sweden.He was born on a small island off the coast of present-day Estonia, belonging at the time to Finland or Russia.That was in 1838.
I don't know if Sandberg was his birth name, but most entries I've seen on this forum refer to Sweden or Norway as countries of origin, which were mostly Lutheran.
There are letters on this forum in the last few days that refer to a Jewish background, as well.
My great-grandfather became a Baptist while in Stockholm.
