Memories:
Adelma Tandberg (1928- ) said on May 05, 2006: "I had a stroke in 2004 in July and I have lost a lot of memories. The family was originally in Jersey City maybe on Fifth Avenue. I was born at home. I had a crush on Eddie Schneider. The Schneiders or one other family member had a butcher shop. My mother worked as a children's nurse, when she came over to this country, for Adelma Marie Mertz. My mother named me after this woman. The Mertz woman wrote an article in a garden magazine. My grandmother worked in her half-sister's deli making the potato salad. When I went to the store there was no seating. Every day there was a specialty food at the deli."
