Jacob Bergqvist and Eva Sofia Hansdotter

Jacob and Eva Sofia are the parents of Dad's grandpa Carl Jacob Bergquist.  Jacob can be found in the 1890 census of Norbotten Sweden with his second wife and his youngest children. Eva Sofia died in 1874 following the birth of a daughter that also died. Descendants of his youngest son Robert Constantine Bergqvist have given me a photo of Jacob and also of his 10 surviving children.
Our great grandfather is on the bottom row  Robert Constantine in the top row center, Nils Henrik in the middle row Axel and Oskar on either side of Robert, the girls are Maja Sofia, Emma Louise, Anna Kristina,  Tekla Amanda and Augusta Aurora but I do not know which are which. The bottom photo is Jacob Bergqvist he was born in 1830.
