RONALD HAS THIS LETTER:
HE SENT XEROX COPY OF A LETTER FROM AN UNCLE WITH HAGQUIST INFORMATION.
CHARLES HAGQUIST, 2539 HIGHLAND CIRCLE, ASHTABULA, OHIO/24 AUG 1982
DEAR RONALD,  I AM SENDING THE ONLY INFORMATION THAT I HAVE.  MY PARENTS LEFT
VERY LITTLE INFORMATION.  THE FAMILY BIBLE ONLY CONTAINED THE NAMES OF US FOUR
BROTHERS.  WE SHOULD ASK OUR PARENTS WHILE THEY ARE STILL ALIVE, BUT WHEN YOU
ARE YOUNG AND BUSY WORKING YOU DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO FIND OUT THINGS UNTIL ITS
TOO LATE.  I HAVE SOME INFORMATION THAT MY FATHERS NAME WAS MATSON.  THAT IS
HIS LAST NAME...WAS MATSON.  WHEN THEY CAME TO THIS COUNTRY HE HAD A BROTHER
WHO CAME TO THE UNITED STATES BEFORE HE DID AND HE CHANGED HIS NAME FROM
MATSON TO HAGGQUIST.  SO HE DECIDED TO CHANGE ALSO, SO THATS WHAT HAPPENED.
MY FATHER HAD A BROTHER WHO LIVED IN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY WHO'S NAME WAS
JOHN HAGQUIST WHO HAS SINCE DIED.  MY FATHER ALSO HAD A SISTER WHO LIVED IN THE
UNITED STATES FOR A SHORT TIME, THEN MOVED BACK TO THE FAMILY FARM IN OLAND,
SWEDEN.  TONALD YOU MIGHT ASK YOUR FATHER TO WRITE TO OUR COUSIN, MARION OR
CLAYTON.  MARION WAS MARRIED TO A DENTIST WHO HAS SINCE DIED.  SHE IS NOW
LIVING IN NEVADA.  MARION MADE A VISIT TO NORWAY SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND I AM
SURE SHE WOULD KNOW SOMETHING MORE AS HER MOTHER AND MY MOTHER WHERE SISTERS.
WELL, I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT A LITTLE IN TRACING YOUR ANCESTORS. CHARLES.

OLAND IS AN ISLAND OFF COAST OF SWEDEN......
