Etymology of the Name Sederburg

“Sederburg” is most likely an altered spelling of the Swedish name “Söderberg.”  According to Swedish tradition in the 18th and 19th century, the surname was established by the identity of the father. (Patronymic system)  Thus, Jan’s son Erik became known as Erik Jansson.  Jan’s daughter Maria became known as Maria Jansdötter.

In those days, the home estate or farm was as, or more, important than surname.  Early emigration and church records list detailed information about parents, birth date, home church parish, and home farm or estate.  Thus, it is not unreasonable to assume that “Söderberg” was a combination of “söd,” Swedish for  “south” and “berg” referring to town.

Absolute knowledge have I none
But my aunt’s washer woman’s son
Heard a policeman on his beat
Say to a laborer on the street
That he got a letter just last week
Hand written in the finest Greek
From a Chinese collie in Timbuktu
Who said the blacks in Cuba knew
Of a colored man in a Texas town
Who got it straight from a circus clown
That a man in Klondike heard the news
From a gang of South American Jews
About someone in Borneo
Who heard of a man who claimed to know
Of a swell society dame
Whose mother-in-law will undertake
To prose that her seventh husband’s sister
Has stated in a printed piece
That she has a son who has a friend
Who knows when the date the world will end.

Cabbage always has a heart;
Green beans string along.
You’re such a cute tomato,
Will you peas to me belong?
You’ve been the apple of my eye,
you know how much I care;
So lettuce get together,
We’d make a perfect pear.
Now, something’s sure to turnip to prove you can’t be beet;
So, if you carrot all for me let’s let our tulips meet.
Don’t squash me hopes and dreams
Now, bee my honey, dear;
Or tears will fill potato’s eyes,
While sweet corn lends an ear.
I’ll cauliflower shop and say,
Your dreams are parsley mine.
I’ll work and share my celery,
So be my
VALENTINE!

This is someone who has far too much time on their hands!
But it’s hysterical, and really good Flash animation at that!

And here’s another one!
