My Paternal Bergstrom Family Line -
Olaus Bergstrom, William Fabian Bergstrom, George David Bergstrom, George David Thomas Bergstrom, Timothy Scott Bergstrom, and Christopher Scott Bergstrom
Now William Fabian Bergstrom may or not be the father of George David Bergstrom, but if not he is still his Paternal Uncle and this is 6 Generations of Bergstrom Men.
Incase those don't remember my previous post about this, which granted it was two years ago My Great Grandfather George David Bergstrom his mother Minnie Johnson was married to two Bergstrom men William Fabian Bergstrom whom is listed as the father of George David Bergstrom on his birth certificate, and David Hermanus Bergstrom whom lived with them at the time and whom later married Minnie and her a son Kenneth Louis Bergstrom, and whom raised George as his son.
DNA is funny in that it can confirm many relationships but the thing is both men are related to me, and it's likely impossible to coinfirm through my DNA which of the two Bergstrom Brothers was my Great Great Grandfather.
I have recently written a few Genealogy TV Shows in hope somehow they may have more ideas as to how to prove for certain which one was the father of my Great Grandfather..... Sadly i have no photos of David Hermanus Bergstrom, but i have not given up hope in finding one.

So cool, great photos. I think you resemble your grandpa (?) (red sweater) if not for the age difference

It is amazing, some of my ancestors on the Bergstrom side of my family through the maternal side which is Jensen go back to Denmark, and apparently some worked for Danish Royalty.

Friend! congratulations for such a good lineage in your ancestors, it is nice to have that, I am an adopted perona, but I have 2 children and who does not have or does not know my ancestor lineage, does not mean it is too late to start it, my children will be my lineage future and I will be the midwife of the family, greetings
