Information from Biographical Sketch of Aaron Lambert Quist
My father's parents (Peter Ludvig Quist and Britta Maria Johansson) came from those countries far across the sea, which have contributed so many thousands of people to the church. They were both born in Sweden.
His father (Peter Ludvig Quist) joined the church in Sweden in 1866 and came to America, leaving his wife and family because they were so bitter towards him for joining the church. He was later called back to Sweden on a mission. On that mission he met Mary Johnson (Britta Maria Johansson), whom he interested in his message and who later came to Utah, where they met again and she became his wife on 17 August 1875 in the Salt Lake Temple. They had 8 children: John Lester, Mary Eliza, Alveda Louise, Aaron Lambert, Anna Susen, Heber Edwin, Adolph Henry, and Clarence Wilford.
Father (Aaron Lambert Quist) was born 25 September 1879 in Monroe, Seviere County, Utah, in a small two-room adobe house, which sat on one of the lots in Monroe. His father (Peter Ludvig Quist) owned a tailor shop there, where he worked to make a living for the family.
