Simonsen/Swanberg of Frol/Gausdals/Levanger/Swede

I am researching Simonsen of Frol/Gausdals/Levanger - later Svanberg/Swanberg of Sweden and then of New Sweden, Maine. I welcome research suggestions as I am not very knowledgeable about Norway and Sweden records and databases and cannot read the language. Thank you in advance. Theodore SWANBERG (Svanberg) was born abt February 16, 1856 or 1857 in area of Trondheim, Norway. His parents were Norweigan farmers: Semond Semondsen and Mary Pettendater.

First marriage: Theodore Swanberg was first married to a Norweigan woman between 1877 and 1885. I do not know where. They had a son, Bernie Swanberg, born in Sweden in June 1885. I do not know if there were any other children from this marriage. The Norweigan wife died between 1885 and 1888. Immigration: U.S. census records indicate that Theodore Svanberg emigrated to the U.S. in 1888 and that Bernie Svanberg emigrated to the U.S. in 1889. From the Swedish Emigration 1869-1930 CD, there were two possibilities. Theodor Svanberg b. 1870, age 21, emigrated on 4-17-1891 from Lerback in the County of Orebro, Sweden from the port of Kronoberg to the destination port of Boston, Massachusetts. (Source Code 44:496:5409) Bernh:a Svanberg, b. 1892, age 15, emigrated 8-23-1907 from Gavle, in the County of Gavelborg from Kronoberg to the destination port of New York, New York. (Source Code 84:449:75242) In addition, this might be Theodor as well from Norway emigration records: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/ 55767, Rec. class 5, Year 1888, Page 226, Line no. 25, Serial no. 5261, New group 1, Date of reg. 27.08.1888, Date 27.08.1888, Given name Theodor, Last name Svendson, Marital status ug, Family pos. , Occupation Arb, Sex m, Age 34, Residence Sverige, Destination New York, Line Nederlandske, Ship via Christiania, Freight (spd/kr) 100, Freight (øre) 00 I do not know if Theodor was a member of the Norweigan military and I have not tried to find his name in military records. Second Marriage: Theodor Svanberg married Elizabeth V Clase in New Sweden, Maine on September 21, 1892. They had a number of children together. Eventually they moved to Worcester, Massachusetts. Occupations: Theodore was a farmer, carpenter, truckman and gardener while in the U.S. Religion: In the U.S. he belonged to the Swedish Lutheran Church.
