Saskatchewan/Moose Jaw

[Marianne Pålsson]

I?m looking for any information about August Natanael* Fogelqvist, who emigrated from Gotland to Canada.
He was born 1876-03-23 in Slöta, Falköping, Skaraborgs county, and he was married to Anna Vilhelmina Byström, born 1872-11-17 in Qviegrund,
Stånga, Gotland.
A N Fogelqvist left Sweden alone with the ship Celtic from Liverpool and arrived at New York 1906-04-15. 1910 he lived in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada.
1910-05-25 his wife Anna emigrated to Moose Jaw, Canada, together with their three children:  
Augusta Cecilia born 1899-11-22 in Björke, Gotland
David born 1904 in Stånga, Gotland
Linnea born 1906 in Stånga, Gotland.
Grateful for any help./Marianne

Try:  http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/index.html
Go to 1911 Canada Census.
Click on Alberta and enter fogelquist, spelled exactly like that and I think you'll have them.

Click on Saskatchewan you mean. Moose Jaw is not located in Alberta.
 
I did a search at http://superpages.ca  
and did not find any Fogelqvist in Saskatchewan.
Did only found surenamn as Fogel.

I see some similarities to Marianne's family in the family found by Thomas Vikander. The match isn't perfect but censuses in countries such as Canada and the U.S. were not made from the parish records and suffer from poor spellings, enumerators hearing the replies incorrectly, etc.  
 
The transcription contains some question marks, so I think the writing must not be easy to read, and if someone familiar with Swedish names read it, perhaps it would be closer to the real names. It's worth using the index to look at the actual censuses, which can be found at this site.

I would not overlook the possibility that the family ended up in Alberta. Alberta and Saskatchewan are both in the western part of Canada, and both had homesteading for land. I don't see the father listed on the homesteading database, however.
 
 
From that index:
 
30    310 Fogelquist August   M Head M Mar 1876 35 1901  
31    310 Fogelquist Harme?   F Wife M Nov 1874 38 1901  
32    310 Fogelquist ?erline   F Daughter S Nov 1898 11 1901  
33    310 Fogelquist David   M Son S Dec 1904 6 1901  
34    310 Fogelquist Lena   F Daughter S Nov 1906 4 1901  
 
 
August was listed as being born November 1874 as Marianne said he was. The wife has a different name (so that is not good) The first child had a different name (another bad sign) but was born in November (good!) and only one year different than the information which Marianne provided. (Perhaps there was a slight mistake by someone in remembering the year she was born.) The boy David was listed as being born in 1904, which fits. Lena (perhaps a nickname for Linnea) was born in 1906, which also fits. The match is not perfect but there are some interesting similarities.
 
I have found a few of my relatives in places I never expected to find them, so it is worthwhile spreading a wider net, while not ignoring that they might have remained in Moose Jaw.

Marianne,
 
I entered the surname Fogelquist in http://superpages.ca and got one hit only. I did not use any province, just all of Canada. There is a Fogelquist in the part of Canada your family lived in. Write a letter and give it a try.
mvh
Karin
