When he moved to Viksjo from Gnarp he took the name Ljungberg (a soldier got his surname after the soldier's cottage that belonged to his mission, therefore a soldier can appear under many names, as Per Ljungberg does -Per Plit Ljungberg seemed to have accepted Lena Stina as his own child, in any case the mention of her as being only Helena's child soon disappears from the books. They moved to Njurunda parish in ab. 1838 and he seems to have been in some sort of trouble . Obviously he had disappeared and they thought he was dead but then he came back from nowhere and the family moved to Nordana, Viksjo in 1840, where he had a small farm. He died on November 11th 1841 out of "age weakness" - he was only 53 years old! He was a widower a year when he married Helena and had two sons in his first marriage, who left the home when they were around 15 (normal among workers and peasants). Helena remarried a widower, Erik Forsstrom, at Vastana in Viksjo on August 14th 1846. He was born in 1782 and died in 1868. She seems to have been economic with the truth and told the vicar that she was 39 years old - she was in fact 50! her daughter Lena Stina with her family(which included Olof Petter Ljungberg , lived together with Helena and Erik Forsstrom. When Olof Petter left home in 1863 there seems to have been around 10 people in a probably very small cottage. Helena died when she was 80 years old on July 12 1877 in Vastana, Viksjo. children
