Looking for place and cause of death (died 9 Aug 1873)for Carl Gustaf POIGNANT born 5 Mar 1838 in Varmdo, Stockholm, Sweden. Married to Oliva Josefina Kristina Berhardina ENBERG 21 Mar 1863. Unknown source said Carl took the POIGNANT name about 1851-1853. Was originally Porslinmakare? Another source has him being born to unknown father and having last name as FRANZ.
Photo of Carl Gustaf POIGNANT and notations on the back indicate he was a Sharpshooter in the Swedish Army. Looking for more information regarding his service.
Children: Albina POIGNANT (1865-?); Carl Emil POIGNANT (1868–1946) and August L POIGNANT (1870–1946). Carl Emil, my great grandfather, immigrated to the US 30 Oct 1891 and settled in Wisconsin before heading west to Abbotsford, B.C., Canada.
Any additional information would be appreciated. Thanks, Cyndi
