Hi,
My name is Richard Nyguist, my father is John Nyguist. I do not know too much about the history except that the family came from Sweden to teach glass blowing in Glasgow. The original name was Nyquist and was mistakenly changed at immigration. My fathers grandfather was Gustav who was the oldest of four brothers.
My fathers father was also called John, married to Mary.
Please let me know if this fits.
Richard

Hi Richard thank you for replying to my message // the information you have sent all fits in as my Grandfather Ernests brother was GUstave and they were Glassblowers from Sweden and then came to glasgow to carry this trade on for many years... I have now found some family from the Nuguists and have met with a few in Glasgow recently and am thrilled that now you have replied i will send you a private message with my e-mail address and i can let you know what i have now found out abt the origins etc abt family .. thank you again as it all means so much to me that there are relatives of mine still out there
Regards Agnes {Nyguist]

Agnes, I got your PM  The reason your PM is not getting through to Richard is because Richard, as a new member, needs to make another 2 messages on the main forum before he can use the Private Message Service.
Richard, welcome to RootsChat This is a link to Agnes' main thread on the family www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,384145.0.html
I am so chuffed for you Agnes - can't believe how many Nugents (and variants!) have been waiting to link up

Agnes and Monica,
Wow, the family tree and history has been so lacking and I have had very little passed down. This is great!...I always wondered about my middle names - James , Edward. My dad was an only child and his parents did not relate much to the rest of the family.
So, from the last message Monica, you are saying I need to send one more message before I can receive a PM?
Thanks
Richard

One more and then you can send and receive PMs A couple of ways too send someone a PM, the quickest, just click on the little green scroll under their names. This will take you through to the PM service which works very much like an email account with an inbox/outbox.
If you look at the top of the page you will see: Welcome back, xxxx, you have xxx messages, x are new. If you click on the messages, this takes you to your PM messages.
Good luck with everything
Monica

Looking through the Rootschat threads I can see my Dads full name is a family tradition - John Edward Nyguist.

Hi Richard thanx again i contacted Monica from roots/chat last night as soon as i read your message so think we can now exchange e-mails through P.M. if not if you put another reply on that should be us.. just a brief bit info as it will take ages to tell you all i have found out since june this year
my Grandfather was ERnest he changed his surname to Nugent [i dont know why] he was a lovely man and had two sons /// my dad Ernest Nugent and John EDward Nugent so now we know the name has been passed through the generations... and my late brother was Ernest John Edward // so that means your dad and my dad were cousins
i recently found out where my great grandfather is buried and all these years i never knew that its 10mns from where i live in glasgow/// so hope to visit his grave very soon looking forward to catching up with all this news
REGARDS AGNES

Agnes,
Here is another reply to be safe. I was always under the impression that my family was small. My parents are both only children, and I have one brother. My grandparents are passed on along with their generation, I am looking forward to filling in the tree!
Richard
