Help with reading Handwriting.....

[mlp666]

I would appreciate any help in deciphering what this handwriting says.  It was written on my grandmother's (Esther Holmberg) passenger list from 20 Sept 1916.  I have been trying to find my great grandfather Johan Severin Holmberg. He was born 5 March 1861. He was married to Sanna Svensdotter born 17 Sept 1867. Thank you so much and have a great day!! -Maureen

To me, it looks like

Father John S Holmsbarg
Halmstad Valahuer, Karleska Halmstad

Did he come from Sweden?

Hello,

Welcome from me also

- I can't see the 'g' but I Googled this name and came up with Karlskoga - which was my first guess - skog meaning forest I believe.  Halmstad came up with Karlskoga  on the Google.

I wonder if you have deciphered this text.

Hi
I can help with handwriting and the family. I don't know how much you know already but I will send the images anyway.

Father. Johan S Holmberg.
Halmstad. Dalalund. Kärleken. Halmstad.

Dalalund is the name of the farm he lived at.
The word "kärleken" in Swedish means "love". Strange name really.

I have included a map of the area. You can see the farm Dalalund and Kärleken.

The other posts will be of each member of the family.
