What we know
Carl Oker Lundberg b 24 Apr 1832,
His wife Maria Sophia (don't know her maiden name) b 30 Nov 1832. I do believe that she was born in Stockholm.
Their 3 oldest children were born there also: Charles F abt 1861, Hilda Helgina 30 Nov 1861 and Severin F abt 1866.
I believe that Maria arrived in the US in 1870.
By the 1880 census, Carl was dead and Maria and the children were living in McPherson, Kansas.

About emigration from Sweden
|
Göteborg was the normal place to leave Sweden |
"There were feeder trips from many ports in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. An estimated 15% of the Swedish emigrants, mainly from the southern provinces, had Gothenburg as the main departure harbor. Some of the well-known feeder ships were: Hero (1866 it carried 550 pass.), Argo, Oder, Albion, Orlando and Rollo (1869/70-, 800-900 pass.), Romeo (1881-), Ariosto (1890-), Calypso (1904-), Eskimo (1910-), and Cameo."

I first checked the Birth date in Emibas with no success but when checking 24 Apr 1832 we have
Transcription
Carl Åke fr. Järnstad ägor 24,24, Torp Anders Lundberg H(ans hustru) Carin Sköld
Conclusion:
We have another indication on birth date 24 Apr 1832 in the birthbook which normally is the one you use as it is "near" the source
Father Anders Lundberg who is a torpare (English I think tenant farmer see
wikipedia)
Mother Carin Sköld
Carl Åke was born in Stora Åby Parish in the county Östergötland
Stora Åby
http://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Stora_%C3%85by_parish,_Sweden
Google Map
Järnstad
Next step
- Start checking the household book for Stora Åby
- We think we know that they lived in Järnstad ägor that is the land of Järnstad and I think mean that you didn't live in the big house maybe something that belonged to a bigger house in Järnstad
- We know they had a son of Car Åke born 1832 ==> look for 32 in the column Född år (eng Born year) is normally the easiest when you have old handwriting
- Maybe surname Lundberg on the father can be easy to find
Sample page in the Stora Åby book
- Household records to check are the one at the time when Carl Åke was born ==> year 1832 ==> http://sok.riksarkivet.se/?postid=Arkis+74a01eea-9e79-11d4-bbc2-00d0b73e7a8b&s=TARKIS08_Balder

- The bad thing is that we don't see Järnstad egor we just see Järnstad at more places
Page 288, 294, 296, 306, 308, 316, 322, 328, 332, 334, 728, 730, 742

The name Lundberg
Lundberg is a rather common surname but not as common as all son of names
patronymic (wiki) we have in Sweden for normal people.
Lund =
copse
Berg = mountain
Checking Järnstad and where they lived
I have found a inventory of houses/soldiers houses (swedish torp) in Järnstad and our dear Anders Lundgren is mentioned to have lived in what today is called Tränkatorpet

The house 5 time 5 meter
Stuga = eng house
