Fred Bertyl Grundstrom was the youngest child born to BEDA ELISABET SKARIN AND GOTTFRID GRUNDSTROM.

His parents, Gottfrid and Beda had immigrated from Sweden in 1906. They began their travels on 28 September 1906 from Goteborg to Hull, England. The couple then traveled on 02 October 1906 from Liverpool, England across the sea aboard the S.S. SAXONIA along with their 5-month-old son Birger William Carl Grundström, also known as 'Bill'. It must have been a long journey, and the young family traveled in 'Steerage', which could not have been an easy voyage. They arrived at the Port of Boston, Massachusetts on October 11, 1906. Later, the family boarded a train across North America. They settled in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Their last name may have been shortened to 'GUNSTROM' when they arrived in Winnipeg.

In 1907, the year after the family arrived in Winnipeg, the couple had a daughter named Signe Elizabeth 'Betty' Grundström. Four years later another daughter was born, Elsa Amerencia Gunström. Thirteen years later, a fourth child was born, Fred Bertyl Gunström. Fred was not healthy, and he passed away at one year of age.

The family moved to a home at 399 Tweed Avenue, where they lived for many years.

SIBLINGS:
*Birger WILLIAM Carl Grundström (1906-1988)
*Signe Elizabeth Grundström (1907-1991)
*Elsa Amerencia Grundström (1911-1991)
*Fred Bertyl Grundström (1924-1925)

Fred was born to his mother Beda later in her life. He was not a healthy baby. My Grandmother once told me that she believed that he had 'rickets'. His legs were not straight and could not support him. Fred died at one year of age, and he is buried in the Elmwood Cemetery.

Even though Fred was not a strong child, he was the light of his parent's life. My Grandmother told me that when Fred was born, her mother 'Beda' became a 'new woman'. She felt younger and had an added spring in her step. My Grandmother told me that having the baby was one of the best things that happened to her mother.

Here is a little background about Fred's parents and siblings.

Beda Elisabet Skarin was born January 10, 1875 in Vallen, Sweden to :
CARL ANDERSSON SKARIN
BRITA CAROLINA SKARIN (nee Grundstrom)
