Look at the 1930 census>Mass>Norfolk>Quincy>District 84> image number 15 of 28....It shows a Carl and Esther as brother and sister living at 75 Cranch Street. The parents were Frederick and Ingeborg (sp?) Esther's age aligns with the 1919 birth date that you had, however this would put Carl's birth year at about 1916. The 1920 census>Mass>Norfolk>Quincy Ward 1> image number 5 of 25 shows another brother George (b. approx 1904) Also, looking at the massachusetts vital records, I didn't see a carl johnson listed for 1901. Granted, they may have screwed up the transcription. These records only go up to 1910. Here is the site: http://www.sec.state.ma.us/arc/arcsrch/VitalRecordsSearchContents.html Also, you can directly see the image at http://www.newenglandancestors.org (membership is required) Strangely enough..a person listed on the same page of the 1930 census is a relative of mine. That area in Quincy was known as "Swede hill". My grandfather also grew up on Cranch Street. There were a lot of Johnsons there.... one was my grandmother. None of the lineage you stated here though, crosses to my side. Small world, eh? In any event, my grandparents were extremely good friends with a Esther and Harold Lindquist. I will ask my father about it and see if he can make the connection. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
