His Father and mother were John and Maialema Johnson. Grandpa Carl Oscar Johnson came to the United States sometime after 1869 and lived in Springfield, Missouri. I don't know when he came to Springfield, but he moved to Memphis, Tennessee around 1895. He married Nellie Fransioli and lived in Memphis until his death on February 20, 1930. He had one brother and six sisters who also lived in the United States. His sister Josie Johnson Bingham lived in Springfield, MO in 1930 but for how long I do not know. His sister Ada Johnson Lawson lived in West Plains, MO in 1930 but for how long I do not know. His brother and other sisters lived outside of Missouri. I would like to find out when my grandfather came to Springfield, Mo. Where he lived and or was employed. When he was naturalized. Whether his parents, John and Maialema Johnson resided in Springfield. And if his sister Josie Johnson Bingham has descendants. Thank you for any help you can give. Chuck Johnson
