Contacting Living Relatives in Sweden

[Gene Linden]

Hello Olle,  I have taken a look at Karl Alm, and it looks like he had three marriages while living at Packebo:
17770427 to Lena Pehrsdotter
17791031 to Helena Olofsdotter, of Knutsnäs
18111016 to Stina Jönsdotter, of Malmbäck Fattigst, as  Änka Soldat.
Also, he had the following children:
17771228 KATARINA, with wife, Lena
17780101 Döddfödd Son, with wife, Lena
17810801 LENA, with wife, Helena
17831129 INGELLA, with wife Helena
17870317 MAGNUS, with wife Helena
17910928 a Stillborn, with wife Helena.
I don't believe Karl Alm was related to Sune Karlsson unless they each married Olofsdotter sisters.  It appears they lived in Packebo at the same time period.  
regards,  
Gene Linden

I am looking for living Thunqvist relatives in Sweden. These are relatives through marriage to my mother's aunt on her husband's side. I have been doing genealogical research on the family, and have found that there were relatives in Sweden (lots) at the time of his father's death in 1958. I will post what i know, and see if anyone recognizes the family and can let them know there are still living relatives in the US if they are not aware of it.
 
The father's name was Oscar Thunqvist, he was born June 21, 1901 in Sweden, he married Maria Christina Teresia Johanson, and they had 3 children: Margaret Thunqvist (daughter), Helge Thunqvist (still living in Florida, USA now), and Sigurd Thunqvist (my aunt's husband).
 
According to Oscar's obituary in January 1958, his mother was Mrs. Gustav Thunqvist, and he had 5 brothers and 3 sisters in Sweden. I am looking for any of them and living relatives. Thanks so much for all your help in finding them.  
 
His wife, Maria Christina Teresia Thunqvist, died on December 14, 1992.
She was registered 1968 as living in Oxelösund parish, Oxelösund  
community (kommun), Södermanland county per info rec'd from Bo Johanson off the 1950-1999 Death CD.

Tara,
 
My only contribution is the records from the 1970 and 1980 census. They both show Maria Kristina Teresia Thunqvist living at the address Sjögatan 12C in Oxelösund. They also tell her birthday; June 2, 1902 in Fardhem parish, Gotland. (That's the big island off the Swedish east coast.)
 
Since Oscar was born 1901 there is no indexed census to help establish the correct family. The obit doesn't tell where in Sweden he was born, or his mother's name. But it might be possible to make a guess from the 1900 census on father Gustav Thunqvist, hopefully he has an established family already, when the census was taken in December that year. This census is only available as subscription, and someone here should be able to look for you.
 
But then you will still need the confirmation from looking into the actual parish records for any possible candidate from the census, to see if there is a boy Oscar born just about six months later, and to find his siblings' records. Even if they are all older than Oscar, the 1900 census has birth year only. Therefore you might have to follow the parish books for a period to gather all five siblings.
