I apologize for the English, but I do not know Swedish. I hope that's ok. I posted this earlier in Anbytaforum, and then realized It may be better to post my question here.

   My great grandparents are from the Kalix area and emigrated in the early 1920's. We have books and artwork from Sune Bergman, apparently an artist born in 1890 in Kalix. (Details are in my blog HERE: http://istalkdeadpeople.blogspot.com/2012/02/sune-bergman-part-tva.html and also HERE: http://istalkdeadpeople.blogspot.com/2012/01/sune-bergman-swedish-handwriting.html    )

   I never knew Sune's connection to my family until I learned his wife was Linnea Jonsson. My great grandfather Helge Sigurd Jonsson had a sister named Emma Linnea Jonsson. So it seems Sune was my great grandparents' brother in law, and Uncle to my grandpa.

  I have found a few bits of pieces as to who Sune was and what is known about him and his work. I understand he cared a lot about the Lappish people of the area? I was wondering if anyone can tell me any information about him. I have some names and dates, but I am more so wondering about his influence in the Kalix area with his work.
