Adolf Wilhelm Bergman was born in 1877 in Goteborg and arrived in Australia in the early 1900’s. His father, Otto Bergman was killed in a railway accident in Partille, Sweden, in 1884. Grandfather changed his name to Alfred Berg when he came to Australia. I would love to find relatives in Sweden, or anywhere else in the world. Australian convicts feature in my family history: Thomas Tabor (Taber); Ordery Appleyard;

Taking the time to find my way around the site this time is going to be fun, and hopefully very rewarding.
Please do let me know if you have any questions about how WikiTree works, even if they seem minor. My rule of thumb when I started was to search for an answer for five minutes, then reach out to my Greeters, and then resume searching. I might have found the answer before they got back to me but they sometimes offered a different way of doing the same thing which was easier. We are always here to help.
See you in the branches,

PS We have a research tool that makes finding reliable sources easier. I use it all the time and it helps me remember different places to check. To give it a try, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research, scroll down near the bottom of that list, and select Research with RootsSearch (use your WikiTree email & password). There are over 20 websites to access from there. You can read more about the tool in the RootsSearch FAQ.
This is just a note to say hi and to let you know that I'm available to answer questions about joining WikiTree.
