What are some useful details about the great grandmother who was born in Landskrona? What was her given name? When was she born?
Much is online since you first started your searching, but if you look in the wrong places, you won't find anything at all. Have you asked for help on the Sweden forum? Type Sweden into the "Jump to Forum" space at the top right of this page.
Landskrona pinpoints a smaller area than just Sweden but a parish name is needed. There are ways to help but looking for someone who has no given name or date of birth makes the search impossible.
Other spellings of the same name could be Thornberg, Törnberg, and Thörnberg and maybe more.
The Family Search site is far from complete. I have only found one of my four grandparents there and I only found one great grandparent there and yet I have gone back in my Swedish research to the late 1600s and the records I used were mostly online on the fee-based Genline site.
