Sivert Ronquist

[Ronnb55]

Hello,

Looking for information on Sivert Ronquist and Rosa Kunkel. I´m interested in all kind of information.

Sivert Ronquist (Rönnqvist) was born 11 Nov 1896 in Larsmo, Finland. He emigrated to USA in 1913. Around 1930-1931 he moved to Cordova, AK where he worked as a commercial fisherman until his retirement in 1968. He died 10 Dec 1972 at Providence Hospital in Anchorage. Sivert Ronquist was a member of the Loyal Moose and the Pioneers of Alaska in Cordova.

Sivert was married to Rosa Kunkel born ~1913. I don´t know either her birth or deathday. Rosa´s parents were Thaddeus Theodore Kunkel (b. 12 Apr 1884 in Alma, Nebraska d. 29 Jan 1950 in Chestachina, AK) and Birdie Florence Adams (b. 25 Aug 1896 d. ?)

When did Sivert and Rosa get married?
When was Rosa born and when did she die?
Where are Sivert and Rosa buried?

Regards
Siv

Thanks to Art and Kerstin for your information on Sivert!

Sivert lived in Bingham Canyon until ~1915. But i have understand that he moved many times before his stay in Cordova, AK. It´s very likely he lived in Rochester in 1920.


I have heard that Sivert visited Finland only once. You did find his name on the passengerlists. Certainly he visited Finland in 1936.
