ANDERSON, BERGQUIST/BERQUIST/BURGQUIST/BURQUIST- SWEDEN & NORWAY>PA>OH

I am searching for information regarding the family of August (Anderson) Bergquist/Burgquist, b. Nov 1866 in (probably) Brålanda, Dalsland, Älvsborg län, Sweden & Palma/Parma (maiden name unk) (Larson) Bergquist/Burgquist, b. Dec 1873 in Norway.

In the 1899 Directory for Arnot, Tioga Co., PA:

8. Gilbert Burquist, son, white, male, single, age 6, b. PA, father b. Sweden, mother b. Norway.

This family does not appear in the 1930 Census for PA, but there is a family with several children w/the same name living in either Youngstown or Mahoning Co., OH, in 1930 (I cannot find this information right now, but ages match w/previous censuses).

I also have a photocopy of a wedding announcement from Mr. and Mrs. August Bergquist announcing the marriage of their daughter, Emma Alvern, to (Charles Edward/Everett?) Brown. The Browns would be making their home somewhere near Youngstown, OH (this would be prior to 1930 and this is from memory; I cannot locate the announcement at this time either).

I am very interested in ascertaining if the August Bergquist/Berquist/Burquist in the censuses is the same August Bergquist in the marriage announcement? The August Bergquist in the wedding anouncement is the brother of my great-grandfather, John A. Anderson/Bergquist of Arnot, Bloss Twp., Tioga Co., PA.

The family surname was Anderson when my great-grandfather immigrated in 1880. He entered the U.S. through the port of NYC. He changed the family name about 1892. His first two children have the surname Anderson on their baptismal certificates; my grandfather's baptismal certificate from 1894, has the surname Bergquist. August followed suit. They may have had another brother who immigrated from Sweden, and they had at least two sisters (names unk) who we think stayed in Sweden.My g-grandfather was b. Aug 1860/1861 in Brålanda, Dalsland, Älvsborgs län, Sweden (per his obituary in AM-SV TRIBUNUN and records located in Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Arnot, Tioga Co., PA).It is more than likely that August was b. and raised in the same area as well.All spellings were left the way I found them in the resources I utilized.

If you know anything about ANY these individuals please contact me. Any assistance would be most appreciated.
