Kin of Salvation Army Sweden Co-Founder, Surnames: Victor and Soderlund
Posted by: Virginia Sholin Smallwood (ID *****8857) Date: August 26, 2006 at 09:15:52
  of 12148

1) Carl VICTOR, 1857 - 1927, and his wife, Ericka, b. about 1858, moved to the Eagle Harbor area from Chicago, IL after 1910. They were there from before 1917 until their deaths in 1927 and after 1930. They emigrated from Sweden in 1902 with their three daughters and one son.

2) Anna B. VICTOR, b. about 1886 in Sweden, and daughter of Carl and Ericka VICTOR, married Marcus SODERLUND, b. 1881, also in Sweden. They also lived in the Eagle Harbor area beginning about 1907,when their son was born,and can be found in the 1920 and 1930 censuses.

3) Richard V. SODERLUND, b. 1907 in Washington, son of Marcus SODERLUND and Anna B. VICTOR. He lived in Kitsap County, and may have married a lady named, Eva.

I am not related to this family, NOT a professional genealogist, and am helping the head archivist of the Swedish Salvation Army's national archives find information about someone important to their history.

These people were related to a woman, Emelie PETTERSON JANSE, who, as Emelie PETTERSON, was one of three founders of the Salvation Army in Sweden. More information on the Washington branch of the family could lead to finding descendants, who might know something more about their ancestor's sister, Emelie PETTERSON. She also emigrated in 1920 with the VICTOR family and with her husband, Edward G. JANSE, but they stayed in Chicago.

I already have the following information on Richard V. Soderlund: 1) 1920 and 1930 censuses for Kitsap County, WA; 2) SSDI for Richard V. Soderlund (1997)

Questions:

1) Did Richard marry someone named Eva?

2) Did Richard and his wife have children?

3) Did any of the Washington branch of this family ever belong to the Salvation Army?

4) When and where did Marcus and Anna B. SODERLUND die?

5) Where are any of them buried?

Also, if you are related to this family, please contact me. I have quite a bit of family history to share and would like to ask you some questions.

Any help with any of these questions will be greatly appreciated.
