Hi!What part of western NY are you speaking of?I am a first cousin of Scott Wheeler (see his message regarding our John Bergquist of PA on the Bergquist message board - message #1).
The reason I ask about NY is our John Albert (Anderson) Bergquist came to the port of NYC in (June?) 1880.It seems that many of the immigrants who ended up in Arnot, Tioga Co., PA, originally set out for Corning, NY.I haven't been able to locate John's arrival from Sweden (yet), and since Immigration changed his surname from Anderson to Bergquist, it will be even more of a challenge.
I feel like our John did not enter the country alone, more than likely he traveled w/other family members; however, we have no idea what their names were.Perhaps your John is a nephew of our John?It seems likely that if Immigration changed one family member's surname, the rest would change also.
