Research on Axel Enström (1893-1977):
Lennart Hagland (1928- ) wrote on July 24, 2005: "At [the] Enström's address in 1970 (Allégatan 2) I found in my database a family 'Strandberg'. The name of Mrs. Strandberg was Ingrid. Her name was in the phone book under another address, though still in Sundsvall. So I rang up and said: 'Are you Ingrid Strandberg from Allégatan 2 1970?'. She was, and she knew the family, as she and her husband belonged to the "domestic service" in [the] Enström´s villa. Mr. Strandberg served as Axel Enströms chauffeur. Axel Enström was the manager of SCA in Sundsvall and the villa sounds to be (or have been) of [an] upper class model, if that´s the word. The Strandberg family lived in an annex. Mrs. Strandberg describes the Enström couple as very kindhearted people. She´s willing to give more information, but this is what she remember for the moment."
