Shirley,I tried to reply to your email, but my server didn't recognize your aol address, therefore I'm responding via this list.
I remember Dad mentioning that grandmother's family arrived in the states via CT, moved to Chicago, then some moved on to Salt Lake City.This occurred sometimed between 1900 and 1910.The year 1903 has always stuck in my mind.
I remember Dad mentioning that grandmother's family arrived in the states via CT, moved to Chicago, then some moved on to Salt Lake City.This occurred sometimed between 1900 and 1910.The year 1903 has always stuck in my mind.My grandmother, Olive Elvira Johansen, was the youngest and her birth date was 6 Mar 1897.She was 4-5 when they settled in SLC, so the 1903 yr may be close.As mentioned before, her father's name was Ludwig Johansen, b ~1871 in Leir, Drammon, Norway.He was married 3 times, but grandmother's mother's name was Olava Fredricson Christensen, b ~1875 in Leir also.I think these birthdates are wrong, because if grandmother was the youngest, and the children were born approx 2 yrs apart, then the first would have to have been born in approx 1885-6.If Olava was 18 or 19 when the first was born, then her birthdate would be approx. 1866-7.So something is fishy here.
