Something tells me that we should still be looking for Anders Petter Nilsson (or something similar) and Johan Fredrik Nilsson or Andersson in Sweden, but Andrew Peter Hullquist and John Frederick (or Fred) Hullquist in the US. Anders was the one who changed the name and they all would have emigrated prior to 1880 (when John was found in Illinois, 1880 census) so I really doubt that there would be Hullquists who were related to us in the 1890 Swedish census as it was a made-up name, rather than an existing name (at least in the case of my ancestors). So far I don't have anything to base this on aside from stories I've been told since I was a kid, but I'll keep looking for more proof. My uncle has some papers from his dad (Andrew's g-grandson) that I will be able to go thru when I see him in May. We'll see if anything turns up then. I'll let you know.
