Surnames: Johannessen Hvam Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RJB.2ACI/254.2.2.1 Message Board Post: Hi! I'm sorry there is no listing for Johan Johannessen or John Johnson in Rock county. I also checked for Hvam. Again, none listed. In Pipestone County, I was able to locate a bio for Jacob G. Johannsen (wife, Maggie Tanek; children, Arthur, John, Albert, Louis, and an infant). Also listed is August Johannsen (wife, Maud C. Jessen). Let me know if you would like the bios of these. Spelling didn't seem to be of much importance in those days, so maybe there's a connection.
