Surnames: Skog, Martinson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TGB.2ACE/538 Message Board Post: I'm searching information about this family: Martha Martinson b. 1889 in Jamtland, Sweden and grew up in Farm Lake Township in Aitkin. She married Carl Skog b.? abt 1910-1920 and they settled down in Crosby, CW co Martha died in 1949 and Carl in 1963. What kind of life did they have,occupation etc? Did they have children? Are there still descentants living in the area? Martha was the daughter of my maternal grandfather's father John Martinson b.1850: but he married an other woman Gertrud Jonsdotter b.1857, they started a new family and they moved to USA in 1888 and settled down in Aitkin 1890. Martha had many sibblings; all of them half sibblings to my grandfather. But it was a secret in my family and we were not alowed to talk about this story when we were children. I have learned all about this after the old folks are gone. Now I'm trying to put my family's history together. So I am hoping for help.
