Haga / Looking for help to find John Henry Rosenquist
« skrivet: 2019-08-10, 11:32 »
Hi I need help, a woman from Samoa, Pacific Islands has requested my help in locating a Swedish great great grandfather of hers.
His name as listed with his Mormon Baptism in 1893 is John Henry (Johan Henrik??) Rosenquist birth 07.05.1854, Brevike, Carlsburge
father John Henry Rosenquist, mother Maria Carlson.
The family tells that he arrived in Cook Island in the 1880' and later moved to Samoa
where he married a native woman. He died in an accident at the harbour of Samoa in 1912 and is buried in Pago Pago, Samoa.
I have checked all records of Brevik, Skaraborg, and the surrounding parishes with no results, not him or his parents, all Sjomanshus
in the area and even further away, with no results at all, nothing familiar at all. The immigration records does not give any clues either.
The only records I have found are two records from Ullervad, Skaraborg telling us that Johan Henrik Rosenquist a sailor born 07.05.1854 is living in Ullervad since 1873 after having had a court case In Goteborg January 1873. I am not quite sure what the verdict
was something about a five year sabbatical.
I attach the earlier file from 1870-1875 if anyone is able to decipher what it says as birth location (I think that W. H. is Wester Haga
(Goteborg))
I would highly appreciate the help and if anyone have ideas of how to locate this person in places I might not have thought about.
I am a Danish woman living in Israel (and deal a lot with military research WW1) and not so familiar with the Swedish records.

I thank in advance for any help given
