Talking to my Aunt last week helped me in my family search process

Last week I called my Aunt who lives back east for some help in locating information concerning my family. She told me that a way to connect my family is to start a face book page as a way to connect with others. Have not yet seen any results from it yet but I am still an amateur in doing family history. 

Had a question about some dates on documents and graves. My Aunt Annette told me that dates on graves where not always accurate because people cannot always remember dates. Concerning other documents and the inconsistency with dates, is that I do not know all the facts as my family is not here to answer the questions. What I can do is follow the spirit in confirming what I have found is indeed the correct info on a particular family member. I am not giving specifics at this time until I have found more about this family member. Will up date soon.

Who are Andrew and Louise Children?

This afternoon I have been trying find information on when and where Carl Leonard Lindquist, Mary Josephine Lindquist, Ethel Christina Lindquist, Ellen Augusta Lindquist, Theresa Signa Lindquist, John Axel Lindquist, Kenneth Edward Lindquist, and Blenda Linnea Lindquist. 

I found some information on Kenneth Edward Lindquist I know he passed away in Bountiful, UT 15 June 1986. He was born 10 March 1905. But there is no obituary on him that I can locate. 

Who are Andrew and Louise Lindquist? Who are their children? How did this journey began?

Searching for information on Andrew Anderson Lindquist and Louise August Osterdahl  family has been a real challenge.
I have been going through the process of verifying and finding information on each member of this beautiful family. I have never met any of these people but I love them. 

This love began when I went to Familysearch.org and started to look for a place to start my family history. I came across Johanna Andersdotter, aunt to Andrew Anderson Lindquist, who had two husbands and a 7 children but these children where not connected to a father. I felt like I needed to find these children father and I did. It was a real challenge because of my ignorance of my Swedish mother tongue. Thankfully where  missionaries and family history techs who where able to help me with my search. 

I plan on keeping this blog as journal as I go through out this journey in finding info on my family with the hopes that through this blog that I can connect with my more of my Swedish family.
