[Marianne Sulesund]

For en kollega som ikke kjenner Sverige:
Alfred von Lindeburgh was born of Swedish parentage in Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA on September 17, 1845. He was the eldest son and as such bore the name von Lindeburgh. The others in the family were known by the family name Andersen. Later, the family left the United States and returned to Sweden where Alfred was educated, finishing at the University of Lunn. Many years later, the Swedish Government purchased the family home and it is still considered a show place [THIS IS LIKELY EXAGGERATED]. It has also been filmed. Owing to Alfred's linguistic education, he became an interpreter on the Allan line of boats carrying immigrants from Liverpool to Quebec. In all he made seven such crossings.
