He could have died on that voyage but because there is no date of leaving the ship we will never know. Also his brother I think would have made sure that the death would have been recorded. Maybe he jumped ship in France then.

Here is an Albert Lundqvist with birth of son Oscar in Massachusetts...

Clutching at straws here! But the son's name Oscar could be a clue.

Oscar also had a son and here is the family in 1890 1900 in Stockholm. Unfortunately Margareta was a widow....

Lundqvist, Margareta Olivia b. 1857 - Mother
Anna   b. 1884   
Nils Vilhelm b. 1894   

Margareta's maiden name was Nyholm.

Just saw this bit of info...
"Margareta's maiden name was NYHOLM"...
My great Grandmother, one of Erik NYHOLM's daughters was called 'Margretta' ...then my Grandmother ( her daughter) was 'Eliza Margretta' and my sister has ' Marguerite' as a middle name.

Possibly a coincidence but may be worth seeing if there is a connection to this use of the name in my NYHOLM descendants and this lady from the LUNDQUIST family.

Cheers,

Hi Julie
Hope your health is much better.
Do you have a tree to look at. I had to re-read all the posts again to refresh the old memory. To find a connection I need a little more info.
