His wife's name was Sophia b. 1897 and he had 4 sons: - Albert b. 1918
- Joseph b. 1920

August came to America from Denmark in 1868 or 1870 and Lena came herein 1876 from Sweden, they were married 12/24/1879. They also had 7 other children,for a total of 9. | Randy | 02/12/07 | | 07-03 | Bjorngaard | I am looking for Johan Halvorsen Bjorngaard, born 1862 in Hegre, Nord-Trondelag, Norway. He emmigrated the 1st time to Portland, Oregon in 1884. Then he went back to Norway for some years and finally emmigrated for good in 1902 to West Superior, Wisconsin. After that the family has no trace of him. Every little bit of information makes us greatful. | Ann-Cecilie | 02/12/07 | | 07-02 | Ericks, Erickson, Grendal, Hermandsen, Paulsen | What happened to Sophia (census 1900) Erickson b. 30 Apr 1872 or Marry Erickson (1910). She came from Norway 1898 together with Andrew Erickson, and they lived at the same address in 1900 and 1910, claiming they were married since 1894. In Norway her name was Marie Sofie Eriks daughter Husbye. She had two girls with her: Anna Maria (in America Anna) was born Dec(?) 1894 and bp Jan 95. Oline (in America Line and Lena) b 11 Feb, bp 16 Apr 1897.
The story has some mysterious parts. They could not have been married since 1894, as Andrew (in Norway Arnt Eriksen Grendal) was married to Gunhild Oles daughter Grindal 26 Jan 1895 Gunhild died however in 1896. Andrew and Sophia/Marry are not siblings. They are from different parts of Norway and we have their parents. It says in census 1910 that "Marry" has had 4 births and has the two children. She should have given birth once between 1900 and 1910. That could be Andrews child. Andrew is not the father of Anna and Lena. We have both fathers names: Johan Hermandsen and Johan Paulsen. Sophia says in 1898 at Ellis Island she is going to her husband John Olsen in Superior. That must be fake for some reason. Andrew is running a hotel or renting rooms to people in 528 Hughitt Ave. He/they have ab 38 boarders in 1910. Ab. 1920 Andrew leaves and goes back to Norway. He goes to US again both Nov. 1920 and Oct 1923, but after that he lives alone in Norway. He has money to buy a farm (!) and he tells nothing about his life in America. What happened to Sophia/Marry and her daughters Anna and Lena? My request is done for Magne Grendal, grandson of Arnt and Gunhild. | Ottar | 02/12/07 | | 07-01 | Craney | I'm in need of 2 lookups in Douglas County:- Marriage information for James E Craney, married 05 May 1891 in Douglas County (Volume 1, Page 239); need any information available about James's parents and origins, as well as anything about his spouse
- Death record for Mrs. J E Craney, died 23 Oct 1899 in Douglas County (Volume 1, page 504); need her given name, maiden name, date of birth, and any information about her parents and origins. Death certificate and/or an obituary would be terrific! I know that James and his wife lived in Superior between 1891, when they were married, up to at least 1900, where they appear in the census records at 2013 Wisconsin Ave in the 9th Ward (census sheet 3). They had 4 children, all born in Douglas County and presumably in Superior. The family moved to Spokane, Washington some time before 1907, when James had another child from his second marriage.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!! | Joe | 01/28/07 |
