I had an uncle who left for USA with his family in 1921.
According to passenger lists of Ellis Island he was bounded for Casper Wyoming.
His name was Elam Okvist born 05/11/1881. dd/mm/year
He entered Ellis Island 24th of August 1921.
He had his wife Alberina born 23/11/1883 with him.
He also had (at least) three children with him;
Harry Erland Bertil born 24/12/1906
Gunhild, Linnea born 13/01/1908 and
Gunborg Cecilia born 11/08/1909.

I would be very gratful for any information you can give me about their whereabouts in Casper.

Sincerely Yours,

Hello Elisia, My name is Dawn Hatch (Previously Oquist) Mercedes is my children's Great Aunt. Frederik "Allan" Oquist is their Grandfather. I have a bit of information that I have collected from Allan that might be helpful. I am also looking for more if you have come across any.

Frederik Allan's Father was Frederik Hjamer Oquist
Born Nov 7 1906 in avre Pitea Sweden
He passed away Nov 4 1975 in Creston, B.C. Canada. You can find his death registration in BC Archives.
He married Iva May Fex

Elis Hjamer Oquist is Frederik's Father but I do not have any information on him. His wife's name was Ellen.

I would love to keep in touch and share our history together and anyone else with more information please feel free to contact me.

Hope this helps. Dawn sunrise68@hotmail.com

Hello Dawn,
I realize your post was some time ago and in regards to your Oquist relatives. I am a distant cousin of yours through Iva May Fex. Her brother, Russel, is my grandfather. I am currently updating the Fex family tree. If you have any interest in that line and want information, feel free to contact me.

Anita/Mercedes was a dear friend of mine from high school and we visited her and Randy at their condo near the New Westminster Quay in Vancouver several times. Then suddenly they were no longer there. So we lost touch and I just hope to know if she's alive and well. If she IS and would like to be in touch, please pass on my email. They talked about moving and I'd just like her to know I'm still here and I hope she's doing well.

Hello, Sorry for the delay in responding. I do not personally have their email or know their whereabouts but do have emails of cousins of ours, who may be able to get a message to her. One problem, I do not know your name. Is Adline your first name? Or just an email name?
