Kristn: I also found an entry for an August Hultqvist that left the same parish as Karin Persdotter, and his birth is 10/6 1863. Sure there is no confusion here.
Hultqvist, August Dräng (ogift man)
f. 10/6 1863 i Broby, Kristianstads län (Skåne)
Utvandrad 29/4 1880 från Hemmestorp, Östra Broby, Kristianstads län (Skåne) till Amerika
Källa: Husförhörslängd, s. 660
Emibas emigrationsakt: Östra Broby L 1880 015

Kristen, I found one Karin in Emibas might this be her:
Persdotter, Karin Arbeterska (ogift kvinna)
f. 10/6 1866 i Broby, Kristianstads län (Skåne)
Utvandrad 11/5 1888 från Njura 2, Östra Broby, Kristianstads län (Skåne) till Amerika
Källa: Husförhörslängd, s. 398
Emibas emigrationsakt: Östra Broby L 1888 022
Emibas is the emigration CD.

Thank you, Lynn and Larry! Yes, there must be some other reason the Högsby church photo was in with their pictures. I was relaying all this information to my mother, who said she thought that Karin was from Skåne.....so that leaves it wide open, as I have no other information at the moment. I am going to have to see what I can find out to get more to go on. Thank you so much for your efforts!

Myresjö (Jönköping county) is a good 60 km from Högsby as the crow flys. Myresjö lies south west of Vetlanda maybe 10km and about 100km inland (west) from Oskarshamn on the Baltic coast near the island of Öland. My trusty KAK Atlas. In the 1860s this was a major distance with no railroads... there must be another story here.

Kristen, For your records Högsby parish births searched for the birthdate you posted would have been on p245 on ArkivDigital. Högsby CI:6 (1861-1883) Image 128/page 245. Very readable record book.

Searching Högsby parish births I did not see any Karin in May June or July 1866. Just in case, I also checked October 6 page and no Karin.

Hultquist is from two words. A "hult" is a grove as in a grove of trees. Quist comes from an archaic Swedish Kvist which is a twig or branch. So, I guess you could say it means a grove of twigs or branches.

Next question: Is there any possibility that Karin Persson (maybe Persdotter?)(my great-grandmother) was the one from Högsby? At this point, all I know of her origin is her birth date (June 10, 1866). She and my great-grandfather married in Omaha, NE, so I don't know whether or not they were acquainted in Sweden.

Larry, thank you so much! It is just wonderful to have this information,to be able to put together that part of my family. Any idea what the name, "Hultquist" means?

Kristen: Okay, here goes: Nils August Hultquist, born May 14, 1832 in Myresjö parish, his wife Mathilda Johanna Petersdötter born February 14, 1826. Didn't find the marriage date last night but they had the following children: Annetta Gustafva Hultquist born January 13, 1853, Sven Johan Hultquist born Dec. 26, 1854, Mathilda Adolphina born February 23, 1856, Carl August born July 2, 1859, Frank Fredrik born January 6, 1861, Gustaf Adolph born March 8, 1863 and Amanda Mathilda born January 7, 1865. All children born in Myresjö parish. The actual birth of Gustaf Adolph reads that the farmer Nils August Hultquist and the mother Mathilda Johanna Petersdötter had a male child born on March 8, 1863 and christened in church on March 12, 1863. Witnesses were: Anders Carlsson and his wife Sara Louisa Johannesdötter...all of Torp in Myresjö parish. "Klockaregården Rusthåll".is the farm they are on when Gustaf Adolph is confirmed but it is still within the same parish. Could have found more I guess but it was pretty late here when I began the research.
