Hi Listers, I wonder, could SKS on this list please help a genie from Melbourne, Australia? For some years now, I have known that I must have some American cousins, children of my grand uncle Ernst Wilhelm Albertsen and his wife Karen Jensen (both from Rise parish, on the Danish island of Ærø). Just this week, I have discovered that one of the sons, my 1C2R James M. ALBERTSON (birth name Jens Mikkelsen ALBERTSEN) had moved from Logan, Iowa, to Lincoln, Nebraska. (I had originally found him in Harlan, Shelby Co., Iowa, in 1895). He and his wife Edith M. Albertson and 9-year old daughter Dorothy Elvira were in Lincoln, Nebraska, in the 1920 Census. In the 1930 Census, he is in Omaha, Nebraska, with his wife Edith, daughter Dorothea, and a grand-daughter, Merrilee (C?) ALBERTSEN, aged 2-1/2. Can anyone help me trace this family - in particular, Merrilee? The Social Security Death Index has this near match: *** Name: Merrilee C. Lascelle SSN: 395-20-6343 Last Residence: 54561 Starlake, Vilas, Wisconsin, United States of America Born: 13 Jun 1928 Died: 2 May 2002 State (Year) SSN issued: Wisconsin (Before 1951 ) *** But, unless one or other of the record is incorrect, this Merrilee is some 9 months younger than my Merrilee C. Albertson. (Fingers crossed) ;-)) Any assistance gratefully received - I'm happy to share information about the Danish (and Australian) branches of the tree. Best wishes, Lesley (Melbourne, Australia ... on a chilly autumn day)
