Småland. While they were in Sweden, their son Ernst Gilbert was born. Ernst Danbom
persuaded his brother-in-law, Anders's Andersson, to emigrate to America along with his wife
and children. The two families, Andersson and Danbom, reserved place on the new the boat
Titanic for crossing to USA in 1912. So, the collision with the iceberg happened on the night
the 15th of April, 1912. Ernst Danbom lost his life on board Titanic along with his wife, Sigrid,
and his son Gilbert. An investigation aiming at finding out with the help of DNA whether the
rests of that child body, that was found after the ship accident, belong to little Gilbert Danbom.
