Lookup please Johan Frederick Victor Lindqvist

Hello,
 
By any chance do you have a John Victor Frederick Lindquist born in Sweden some time between 1879 to 1881 in your data base. He is our Great-Grandfather and he emmigrated to America around 1905 via NY. His name could have different spellings or the names may not be in order. He was always called John Lindquist.
 
We have noticed something else very puzzling and that is many of the sons, grandsons and great-grandsons in our Lindquist family have the middle name EVANS. I'm wondering would you know by any chance how many scandinavian men actually change their surname after immigration to America? I've read stories that the name Lindquist can actually mean a man has left home for a new life. Maybe that middle namemeans something important
 
There are many great great grandchildren here trying to discover our swedish roots for our family tree.
 
Thank you sincerely,
 
Joanna Lindquist
