Lena Johnsen og sønnen John født 22.07.1899

[gj00144]

Har ikke klart å knekke denne "nøtten". Finner dem ikke i de scannede kirkebøkene, emigrantprokollen for Bergen eller folketellingen i 1900.

Navnene kan selvsagt ha blitt amerikanisert og Bergen betyr nødvendigvis ikke Bergen by.


From Julie -

"My great grandma Lena Johnson had a baby out of wedlock on 7/22/1899 in Bergen, Norway. The baby was named John, and the baby's father's family paid for Lena and the baby to go to America and get out of their lives. Lena and her cousin Carrie came to America to Ellis Island, so I've heard. Eventually Lena and baby John ended up in Wisconsin. That's where Lena met my great grandpa George H. Thompson. They married, and baby John took the last name of Thompson. George was also born in Norway, but I don't know where. His year of birth may be 1862. Lena's year of birth may be 1873."
