Information found in the Lite släktforskning documentation obtained from Helene och Gösta Carlsson was translated and compiled by Ketty Lindqvist-Nisser into English.
There are at least a dozen variations in the spelling of most names and most of them are known to have been used by related branches of the family, or to have been used
in Church Records or censuses.
Census takers would often guess the age and name spelling, without asking, of people they recorded. Many people during the early censuses may not have known how to read
or write or know their exact birthdate.
Ages recorded have been seen with variances up to 5-10 years!
In some cases, different spellings have pertained to the same person. The variations already observed are: Lindkvist, Lindqvist and the Americanized Lindquist.
The primary purpose of this publication is to record, insofar as possible, the genealogy and history of the descendants of Johan Lindkvist, born in 1878 and died in 1958, who married Eva Fredrika Gustafsson Lindgren,born in 1881 and died in 1954.
