Laura M. from Norway to USA

[13953]

Hello! I'm searching for Laura M. born somewhere in Norway 1896. She was a child when the family emigrated to USA. She became american citizen 1903. She married John Nikanor Axell that were born 1895-07-14 in Björna, Örnsköldsviks community, province of Västernorrland (Y) in Sweden. He emigrated from Sweden 1917 and got american citizenship 1922. I have also a notation that they had 2 children, both born in USA. The first is called John Roland and he was born 1927, then it is Louis J. born 1933. Is there anyone who know anything about Laura and her family/relatives? I thank you all in advance if you have any information about this. Best regards Elisabeth Helldén [email protected]

I see that Roland was born in Wisconsin. Therefore I would highly suspect that this may be your Laura in the 1910 census. I would suggest that you have someone check out this family in Wisconsin.
