I have also found descendents from Anna Andersen (bn 1882) and one of them is alive and well living in South Carolina! Let's hope that this is the connection we were looking for. Carl always wandered in and out of peoples lives and never ever let anyine know where he ws or whae would do next. He just stopped calling anyone around the mid 1920s after delivering some boots to the children of Thomas Andersen in Chicago. What do you think?

Hope to hear from you soon Maggie Andersen nee Goodwin/Brand ------------------------------------------------------- Hi there, I too, am looking for Carl Anderson (Andersen). He was born, I think, 30 Nov 1884 in Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland, the son of John (Johannes) Andersen (Anderson) and Marie Jensen.John and Marie were both from Haugasund, Rogaland, Norway and moved to Scotland between 1882-1884.The birth date for Carl I have from a World War 1 Draft Paper which put him in Seattle together with his brother Thomas. There were 5 children born to Johannes and Marie, Annetta 1877, Anna 1882, Carl 1884, Georg 1887 & Thomas 1890. Annetta married and moved to The Faroe Islands. Anna married and moved to Tacoma WA, Georg married and stayed in Edinburgh Scotland & Thomas married and lived in Chicago. We know that Carl went to USA because he used to turn up every so often at various relatives homes, stay for a while and then go with no-one knowing where he came from and where he was going. It would be good to solve this mystery! Hope to hear from you soon Regards Maggie Andersen andya13349@aol.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
