Mark - Even though I also have Carlsson ancestors, I am not related to these
Carlsson's either, but I do watch each one that is posted. Since the Carlsson surname
and others, are patronymic names, it is far and few between, finding the correct family to
follow. But, I noticed that you have the Emibas CD and was wondering if you would mind
doing a lookup for me.
I also had Carlsson/Carlqvist ancestors to travel from Gotland, Sweden to Kandiyohi
County, MN. Here are some records I found, but I am not a member of
Ancestry.com, so they
don't show everything.
found on
Ancestry.com - 4/6/09
Name: Lars E Carlqvist
Birth: abt 1833 - location
Residence: date - location, Kandiyohi
Swedish Emigration Records, 1783-1951 (in Swedish)
Immigration & Emigration
This is the information I sent out to somebody else awhile back:
I am looking for information on Lars Emanuel Carlqvist who married my great, great
grandmother - Anna Maria Carlsson in 1865 in Östergarn Parish, Sweden - on the island of
Gotland, Sweden.
She had a son named Lars Ferdinand (Carlsson) Carlqvist, born Feb. 12, 1861 (born before
they were married).
When Lars Ferdinand Carlqvist was 20 years old, he came through St. Louis, MO. He left
Sweden on 8/18/1881 to come to St. Louis. He is listed as F. Carlqvist and his source
code was 1881:3855:2708. He may even be listed as Lars Ferdinand Carlqvist Larsson,
showing him from
Stava farm, Barlingbo parish on Gotland, Sweden.
His father, Lars Emanuel Carlqvist (Karlqvist) and wife, Anna Maria (Carlsson) Carlqvist,
left for the US, May 9, 1884 from Göteborg,Gotland, on the ship Romeo, final destination -
Washington, D.C. Lars and Anna were #7998 and #7999 on the ships list. The MN
Territorial and State Censuses - 1840 - 1905, show them living
in Kandiyohi County, Minnesota around 1895.
I am looking for information in St. Louis, MO, on Lars Ferdinand (Carlsson) Carlqvist, as
I live close to St. Louis, in IL.
I need more info on his father, Lars Emmanuel and
his wife, Anna Maria, in MN. I did find one Kandiyohi, MN census, where they were listed
- I'll have to find my copy. But, can't find anything beyond that census.
I'm not sure you can help, just let me know.
Thank you,
Jan Scott
