Genealogy
Over the past ten years, we’ve used Internet technology to research, find, and connect with our American and Swedish families online. I’ve established "The Newquist Family", a website that documents those efforts and contains many records (history facts, photos, genealogy charts, etc.) of seven generations of the descendants of Peter Jonasson (1818-1889) and Christina Bengtsdotter (1824-1907). While the general public has access to this site and related links, it has privacy features to protect the information on 600 living relatives.

CHICAGO REUNION: Message from Anne Newquist Folger

You might find it odd to be receiving a message from the Arizona contingent of the Newquist Branch with a Save the Date message. However, we have been trying to find a way, for some time, to reconnect with the Midwest folks. We finally have the opportunity!

Edward Newquist, my brother, is working on the Harry Potter Exhibit in Chicago. The grand opening event is on April 30th. He has been able to secure a room for us at the Museum for Sunday, May 3rd. What we are hoping is that you will be able to join us there for a hosted continental buffet at around 10:30 and then enjoy the wonderful exhibit.  We will have information about the tickets to the Exhibit shortly. However, we wanted to get the date to you just as soon as possible so that you can make plans to attend. It has been much too long since we connected and this is a wonderful opportunity to see each other and enjoy an outstanding exhibit.

If there are other family members at your end that would be interested in attending please feel free to send them this email. They can email me their contact information and I will add them to the list for communications.  Also, don't hesitate to contact me with any questions at all. More information and details will be forthcoming within the next few weeks.

FUTURE REUNION:

2009 Virtual Reunion Information!

 We're also planning a virtual reunion in the Fall where cousins from Sweden and the US can log on. It will be preceded by local reunions, and this May 3rd event will kick off the series.

We are looking forward to connecting with you!

Sincerely, Anne Newquist Folger for the Harvey Newquist family.
