There are other Gustav/Gustaf Nordquists in Minnesota - one in Morrison county, and Crow Wing county, who have a similar birth year.

I find the family on the 1900 census, searching at familysearch.org

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.2/1YS2-JMD/p_26243924

You can see the actual scan of the 1900 census record here:
https://www.familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11668-13389...

They have the children Richard and Thelma.

The 1900 census says Gustave Norquist is born June 1872. His wife is called Inga.
They've been married 4 years. He is a coachman, he immigrated in about 1889.

The census seems to show that they live on 12th Ave NE, by Main street. If you go to Google and do a maps search, type this in.

Main st. and 12th ave ne, Minneapolis, MN

That area of Minneapolis, called Nordeast sometimes, WAS at one time, a very Scandinavian area.

The census says that Gustaf and Inga were married 4 years in 1900. It also says she is Norwegian.

I did find where Thelma Nordquist Sorenson is buried. At the Fort Snelling cemetery in Minneapolis. It's a military cemetery. I think her husband Roy was the soldier when he was younger. Not sure which war, but probably World War 1? he's the right age.

So, here is the address of Lorraine Sorenson Grant, daughter of Thelma Nordquist Sorenson. Click the link.

There are 2 sons I found at ancestry.com for Lorraine Sorenson

Minnesota Birth Index, 1935-2002
Name: Robert Warren Grant
Mother: Lorraine Elsie Sorenson
Father: Clyde Edward Grant
Birth: date - Hennepin, Minnesota

Minnesota Birth Index, 1935-2002

Their son Robert W. Grant also seems to live in Owatonna Minnesota. Click here to get his address

Conrad A. Nordquist could be Conrad Adolph Nordquist. He's the best match at ancestry.com (I don't subscribe to it, so I can't see the actual records, but I use it to find clues.)

Minnesota marriage records show this:

David Arthur married here:

NORDQUIST, DAVID ARTHUR
ANDERSON, JOAN CAROL

I think the daughter Marilee Nordquist married Scheuneman
and graduated from St. Louis Park High school, in Hennepin county.

You should write to her on her facebook page, because I think this is Marilee Nordquist Scheuneman, partly because in her list of friends, she has some Nordquists as friends.
https://www.facebook.com/people/Marilee-Scheuneman/100000586...

or you can send her snail mail here

http://www.411.com/name/Marilee-Scheuneman/Yonkers-NY/3auxag...



The other David Andrew Nordquist, born to Conrad Arthur Nordquist, was born way in the most northern Minnesota, in Roseau county.

Now for Oscar A. Nordquist, what I can find:

NORDQUIST, OSCAR A.
Date of Birth: 13 Mar 1908
Place of Birth: MINNESOTA
Mother Maiden Name: GUFSRUD
certid# 1968-MN-033986
Date of Death: 22 Dec 1968
County of Death: CROW WING

Oscar A. Nordquist is also buried at Fort Snelling cemetery, so that means he was in the service. Possibly World War 2.

Birth: Mar. 13, 1908
Death: Dec. 22, 1968

Minneapolis

He's also at this government site, showing he was a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy.

NORDQUIST, OSCAR A.
birth 03/13/1908
Death 12/22/1968
Service Branch: US NAVY
Rank: LT CDR

There are other things online that have Oscar A. Nordquist, but it's hard to say if it's the same Oscar A. Nordquist. If the A stands for? Alvin?

Oscar A. Nordquist died in Crow Wing county, Minnesota. That is near the town of Brainerd. I find some other things online about Oscar A. Nordquist, one is his wife after his death, trying to settle some tax problems.
Their son Stephen G. Nordquist is the lawyer trying to help her with that.

Then sadly, in the Brainerd Newspaper, which is in Crow Wing county, Minnesota, I find an obituary for the son Stephen G. Nordquist. Here is the link:

http://brainerddispatch.com/stories/061102/obi_0611020009.sh...

I think that Oscar A. Nordquist had this one son, and a daughter Mary Alden Nordquist. The obituary says where "Aldie" lives, but not what her last name is now.
I found this at ancestry.com

Minnesota Birth Index, 1935-2002

Name: Stephen Glos Nordquist
Mother: Georgiana Glos
Father: Oscar Alvin Nordquist
Birth: date - Hennepin, Minnesota

Minnesota Birth Index, 1935-2002

Name: Mary Alden Nordquist
Mother: Georgiana Glos
Father: Oscar A Nordquist
Birth: date - Hennepin, Minnesota

This is the article I found that put all the names together with Oscar A. Nordquist.

http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/481/...

The law office address is
Nordquist & Stern PLLC
211 E 53rd St
New York, NY 10022
212-207-8150

His children are probably from an earlier marriage, since he married in 1999 to Stern, and he was already in his 60's.

His son Nick's address, click the link:

Stephen's son Tim's address, click the link:

And based on something I posted yesterday, I see that Nordquist Sign Company also has a facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/#!/NordquistSign

Oscar A. Nordquist's daughter Mary Alden "Aldie" Nordquist

I found her information on a college newsletter just by googling her name.
http://www.archive.org/stream/brownalumnimonth956brow/browna...

Aldie Nordquist Laird's daughter, Wendy,
and Wendy's husband, Yves, have three boys
and live in Senegal. Aldie and her husband
are both retired and can be reached at

Aldie Nordquist Laird
P.O. Box 420072
Summerland Key, Florida 33042,

from October to May. They continue to sum-
mer in Maine.

But I think the address above is old, since the newspaper i got it from is from the 1990's.

this is a newer address, click on the link.

http://www.411.com/name/Lindsay-R-Laird/Cudjoe-Key-FL/54e0dq...

(Mary A. Laird is Aldie)


In the summer they live in Maine. That is common in America, for a retired couple to live in the northern states in the summer, and then in October to May, they live in Florida, It's warm, and there is no state income tax in Florida. Makes it even sweeter.

this link shows their main address, but not the postnummer.
You could probably find that on Google. But you won't find them there until next summer again.
http://www.411.com/name/Aldie-Lindsay-Laird/Topsham-ME

Lindsay Laird must be her husband.

I found this website also showing their Maine address.
And the postnummer (we call it zip code in America) of
Topsham, Maine 04086

http://www.localedgephonebook.com/guide/ME/Bath-Brunswick/Re...

The telephone number may not be good because a lot of people who travel are going to Mobile phones.

I hope that out of all of this, you can now find some relatives alive today in the USA.

You posted this at Grant county, Minnesota, which is not the area at all where the family lived, they lived in Hennepin county, Minnesota, but it was a lucky mistake, because I like to check the Grant County query sites, but I never check the Hennepin county site.
