Notes:

Came to this country in 1883 according to Jan.

In the 1889-91 Minneapolis city directory, John J Quaid, 357 Lincoln, is a finisher with the Minneapolis Sash and Door Company.



Became a “naturalised” citizen of Canada in Kermaria, Saskatchewan, on December 15th, 1914.

John married Nanny Emma Rebekka (Annie Rebecka) LUNDBERG on 23 Feb 1896 in Foreston, Mille Lacs County, Minnesota. Nanny (daughter of Carl Gustaf (Charley) LUNDBERG and Britta Maria (Mary Or Mare) SVENSDOTTER) was born on 10 May 1879 in Kånna, Småland, Kronobergs län, Sweden; died on 3 Feb 1936 in Naicam, Saskatchewan, Canada; was buried in Naicam Cemetery, Naicam, Saskatchewan, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Born in Berget, Berghem Sodregård.

The Anbytartforum entry for her indicates that her birth year was 1879. So does the Kånna 1877-1881 Household Examination (p.20).

Britta, Tilda, and baby Emma arrived in New York from Liverpool on October 14, 1881, on the City of Paris.



She and her husband and children were living at 709 Jackson Street in Minneapolis at the time of the 1900 census. Annie had had two children, both still living (Mary Katherine and Margaret Julia).

In the 1905 Minnesota state census, the family was living with the rest of the Quaids in Foreston. John was a painter, had been in Minnesota for 21-and-a-half years and had been in Foreston for 5-and-a-half years. That may be incorrect: Josephine and the three girls had been in Foreston for only 3 years and 9 months.

In the 1910 census, the family was living on a farm that they owned with mortgage in Milaca Township. The family consisted of John J., 40, Annie R., 38, Mary K., 13, Margaret J., 10, and Annie J., 7. Annie is shown as having had 6 children, only the still living. (On the day the census-taker appeared at their farm, Annie would have been 8 months pregnant and two weeks away from giving birth to her 7th child.) Not too far was the farm of her father and his 2nd wife.

Lived in Naicam, Saskatchewan. In a Naicam history, Claudia Ponath contributed this on the Quaids:

“Mr. and Mrs. John J. Quaid and family came by train to Watson from Foreston, Minnesota, U.S.A., homesteading in the Byng District in approximately 1910. A year later, Mrs. Quaid’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charley Lundberg, settled on the same quarter with them. Mr. Quaid was one of the first Municipal Councillors and was one of the first who initiative to build a school so was elected to the school board the first year. Their family consisted of three daughters and one son - Mary, Margaret, Josephine, and Francis.”

Could not find the Quaids in the 1911 Canadian census.

Roy lists her birth location as Bergham Sodregard Berget, Sweden.

Terry says: “Incidentally, the Quaid house was the original town jail in Naicam. Very few people know that little fact. I was told by a previous owner that the walls are about two feet thick as he had tried to drill through it for some reason.”

Her obituary:

Mrs. J. J. Quaid Laid to Rest

The death of Mrs. J. J. Quaid occurred at her home early Monday morning, February 3rd. Mrs. Quaid had been in ill health for some time but on Sunday suddenly took a turn for the worse and quietly passed away in the early hours of Monday morning. The many friends are comforted in the thought that the family was at her bedside when the end came.

Mrs. Quaid was 57 years old and was born in Sweden. She immigrated to the United States and later married J. J. Quaid. They came to Canada 23 years ago and settled on a homestead in the Byng district west of Naicam. She is survived by her husband, three daughters, and one son, Mrs. R. (Dick) Sharp, Mrs. Paul Jestin, Mrs. Fred Jestin, all of Byng district and Francis at home.

The funeral service was held at the home by Rev. Fr. Chrysostom. Burial took place in the municipal cemetery.

Pall bearers were Messrs. Fred Jestin, Paul Jestin, Dick Sharp, and Francis Quaid.

Notes:

From Jan: “John Quaid's father was actually William Quain not William Quaid. In Ireland the Quaid and Quain names are interchangable. But they are basically the same name-the original name was Quain. Just about every generation there was a Fitzgerald who married a Quain, so the families are very close and mixed up -- but all are descendants from the "White Knight".”

Also from Jan: “George says the family came from the Manister parish. He lives in Patrickswell.  A few years ago I spoke to another Quaid cousin, Catherine O'Riodan, who said she owned the Crean property.”

In the 1895 Minnesota state census, the girls had left home but the three boys were still on the farm in Milo Twp, Mille Lacs County, Minnesota. John's occupation was painter. The family had been in Minnesota for 12 years, 6 months, and in Foreston for 4 years and 10 months. 

In his granddaughter Mary Catherine’s birth record he is referred to as Gulielumus Quaid.

Wilhelm, 60 (b. January 1840), his wife Cate, 57 (b. January 1843), and their son Wilhelm, 22 (b. May 1878) were living in Foreston in the 1900 census. Wilhelm Sr. was a farmer. All three had been born in Ireland. Husband and wife had been married for 33 years. Cate had had 7 children, 5 still living. Wilhelm Sr. is shown as having come to the U.S. in 1885 but no similar date is shown for his wife or their son.

In the 1905 Minnesota state census, William and Kate were in Foreston along with their three sons and their families. The Quaids had been in the U.S. for 21 years and 6 months and had been in Foreston for 5 years and 6 months.

Living in Foreston village, Mille Lacs County, Minnesota, in the 1910 census. Came to the U. S. in 1889.

Still living in Foreston village in the 1920 census but he is now a widower.

Died of chronic myocarditis complicated by senility. Was living with his daughter Margaret and family at 710 Jackson Street in Minneapolis at the time of his death.

The 1871-1876 Kånna household examination suggests that Carl and Britta came to Ljunga, or at least Berghem Andersgård, on October 2, 1874, two months and twenty days before they were married.

They lived near or with his sister Emelie and family on Andersgård.

The Anbytartforum confirms this, saying: “Carl Gustaf came in December 1873 to Kånna from the parish of Thorup. He then moved in with his brother Carl Oscar at the Berget cottage under {near?} Kvänjarp. In October of 1874, he moved with his bride-to-be Britta Maria of the Björkelund cottage under {to? in?} Berghem Andersgård. They married that December. In October of 1877 they moved to Berget cottage under {in?} Berghem south farm. Then on July 17, 1881, the family emigrated to America.” (This may have been the date on which they were permitted to leave and actually left Sweden sometime in September.)

Lived in Kånna, a small town northwest of Södra Ljunga, until they emigrated. Left Sweden in September, 1881, with the destination of Red Wing, Minnesota. Terry says: They left from Malmo, Sweden on the Ship ALEXANDRA, arriving at Grimsby, England (east coast) taking the train to Liverpool. I have a picture of this ship. It never made it back to Sweden as it sunk in a major storm on the return trip to Sweden. Captain Johnson and crew probably all drowned but I never found about that yet. I have all the ship's crews names and home towns. The name of the ship owner was the South Sweden Steamship Company of Malmo, Sweden, which is on the south tip of Sweden directly across the Strait from Copenhagen in Denmark so there probably were Danish passengers too?
 
The name of the shipping carrier was the INMAN Line with tickets to New York destined for RED WING, MINNESOTA. The big ships from Liverpool were usually called CITY of xxx......... but I have not found the exact ship name they were on yet as some of these ships had six hundred people on them and there were many ships each day to New York. Annerstad is near to Kånna and South Ljunga in Kronoberg län, SMALAND, Sweden.

Britta, Tilda, and baby Emma (but, apparently, not Charley) arrived in New York from Liverpool on October 14, 1881, on the City of Paris which had sailed from the Swedish port of Malmö. The stated destination of the three was Red Wing, Minnesota. Carl Gustaf may have gone ahead earlier and then sent for his wife and children. All four are shown as leaving the Berghem Södregård parish at Kånna in 1881.

According to Terry, Charley, a 31 year-old tinsmith traveled from Glasgow to New York on the Devonia, arriving June 7, 1881.

In an 1885 census, the family was living in Cannon Falls Twp. The family consisted of Charles Lundberg, 35, Maria, 40, Mathilda M., 9, Nanny C., 6, Laurina, 4, and Alfred, 1.

In the 1895 Minnesota state census, the family lives in Athens Twp, Isanti County. They had been there for a year-and-a-half.

In the 1900 U.S. census, the family was living in East Barton, Pierce County, North Dakota. The family consisted of Carl, 50, Maria, 54, Walter, 18, and Ida, 14. Both children had been born in Minnesota. Carl is a farmer, Walter a farm laborer, and Ida a servant. Carl and Maria came to the U.S. in 1881. Maria has had 8 children, 5 still living. Carl and Maria had been married for 22 years.

He moved to Naicam, Saskatchewan, Canada, with his second wife. But at the time of the 1910 U.S. census, he and Hannah were living in Milaca Township not too far from the John Quaid family.

Not listed in the 1911 Canadian census.

In the 1916 census, he and Hanna lived in Lake Lenore. He and Hanna came to Canada in 1911. Charles became a Canadia citizen in 1914, Hanna was still an American citizen. They were both Protestants.

As Jan found, Charey and Hannah lived in Preeceville Twp, Saskatchewan, in Canada’s 1921 census. They lived alone and were still engaged in farming. They still claimed, respectively, Swedish and Danish citizenship. Both claimed to be Lutherans.

Terry says: He probably never went to school since his land records in CANADA are marked by an " X" but even that I do not know for sure since he may have been able to write in Swedish and not in English.

Terry says: the LUNDBERGS in Sweden always used that name which is very unusual as most Swedes used Johansson, Svensson, Pederson, etc. and changed their name every generation. I have most of the Swedish records but can not find them in the USA; maybe they became Carlssons, Johnson, Anderson, etc. and thus so common a name it is hard to trace them in the USA....??

Carl married Britta Maria (Mary Or Mare) SVENSDOTTER on 22 Dec 1874 in Södra Ljunga, Småland, Kronobergs län, Sweden. Britta (daughter of Sven JACOBSSON and Maja Lisa NILSDOTTER) was born on 18 Aug 1845 in Södra Ljunga, Småland, Kronobergs län, Sweden; died on 27 Oct 1902 in Foreston, Mille Lacs County, Minnesota.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 23 Aug 1845, Södra Ljunga, Småland, Kronobergs län, Sweden

Notes:

Britta, Tilda, and baby Emma arrived in New York from Liverpool on October 14, 1881, on the City of Paris, originating from Malmö. They had departed from Malmö on September 22nd with their place of origin shown as Kånna. Their destination is shown as Red Wing, Minnesota. Presumably, Carl Gustaf had left Sweden earlier and was waiting for them in Minnesota.

From an entry found by Jan in the Anbytartforum, we learn that Britta Maria was born in the Jonsboda cottage on the Näs farm in Södra Ljunga. She was christened there on the 23rd. Witnesses were the soldier Johan Ekström from Hagatorp under {near? south of?} Össjö, farmhand Salomon Jonasson in Ljunga, maidservant Marie Jacobsdotter from {something to do with summer, summer estate?}, houswife Anna Lisa Larsdotter from Jonsboda.

A descendant of Johan Ekström says:

“His full name was: Johan Peter Jonasson/Jonsson Ekström [soldier surname] (1821-1868) whom I show living at torp Hagatorp, Össjö Norregården, S. Ljunga, Kronobergs län, Småland in Sweden in 1845. His son, Johan Salomon (1846-1928) emigrated to the US and settled with his family in Minneapolis, Minnesota.”

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: “Rag man”, coppersmith

Notes:

According to Carl Johan, Johan was called Johan i Ryd because of where he lived (Rydöbruk). Carl Johan also says that he was Johan Martin in his birth record.

Carl Johan and Jan have found information suggesting that Karl Olaf Wigren, a sailor, may have been the biological father of Johan Mårten. In the birth records for Johan Mårten, he is shown as the illegitimate son of Elin Strömgren, no father listed. However, in the household examination for the fortress of Varberg and Karlsborg, Anders is stated as Johan’s father.

From Diana’s research:

Before he went to Torup, Halland, Johan was a millitary man in Karlsborg with the number 25. There he called himself Johan Mårten Persson Lundberg. Before he moved to Karlsborg he lived in Mariestad. He moved from Mariestad to Karlsborg in 1835. He and Maria Elisabet Lind married 12 Jan 1840 in Karlsborg. Maria Elisabet moved from Undernäs to Karlsborg in 1839.

Johan is referred to as Arb. No. 25 M. Persson in the record for his marriage.

He and Maja and his first son are listed in a clerical survey in Karlsborg. By the 1840s the family is in Rydö.

The census image for Johan in the late 1860s and very early 1870s seems to say April 1st. The May 3rd birth date is confirmed in another census or church record that Jan has received from a contact in Sweden.

At the time of a census in the late 1860s and very early 1870s, the family consisted of the parents plus Johan Alfred, Carl Oscar, Carl Gustaf, Johan August, Leander, and Vilhelm (Wilhelm) born in 1864.

Rydö is a place in Torup in Halland. There is or was a paper mill there too. Johan Lundberg worked as a rag-man and sold rag to the paper mill.
