'BETTY' GUNSTROM MULBERRY (Signe Elizabeth Grundström) was born on May 17, 1907 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to:
GOTTFRID GRUNDSTROM (1880-1966) and
BEDA GRUNDSTROM (D-1966).
Her parents, Gottfrid and Beda had immigrated from Sweden in September 1906. They began their travels in 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. 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. The child was not healthy, and he passed away at one year of age.
Gottfrid's younger brother Axel Grundström also emigrated to Canada from Sweden. He lived in Retlaw, Alberta. Axel made a trip from Alberta to Manitoba and was in attendance at the Baptism of his niece, Signe Elisabeth Grundström on 21 July 1907 at the FCS Mission Church [First Canadian Scandinavian Mission Church]. His signature can be found on the Church Baptism records for Signe Elisabeth as a witness, along with a man named 'Ernst Ostman', also from Sweden. The clergyman was J.E. Bjorklund.
