Hi Listers, I am an Australian, looking again for traces of an American cousin, James M. ALBERTSON. He was born Jens Mikkelsen ALBERTSEN, in Stokkeby, Svendborg, on the island of Ærø, 5 Oct 1873. Migrated to the U.S. on 17 May 1890. Lived first in Shelby Co., Iowa, where he worked as a farmer. Occupation listed as electrician, when he married Edith May YOUNG in Woodbine, Harrison Co., Iowa on 9 Dec 1903. One daughter, Dorothy Elvira ALBERTSON, b. 15 May, 1910. James was elected County Auditor in Harrison Co, possibly in 1912, but certainly before 1917, when it is his occupation on his World War 1 Draft Registration Card. From there, the details become more sparse. The 1920 Census finds him living in Lincoln, Douglas, Nebraska with wife Edith May and daughter Dorothy Elvira, then aged 9. By the 1930 Census, he is still in Nebraska, but this time in Omaha, Douglas Co. Name in that census is written as James M. ALBERTSEN, wife as Edith May, and daughter as Dorothea Elvira ALBERTSEN. Also appearing in that Census is a grand-daughter, Merrilee C(ulham?) ALBERTSEN, aged 2-1/2. (Dorothea is listed as aged 20, and divorced). Help, anyone? Grateful for any assistance with this - in particular, a death/burial record for James. I am also aware that Merrilee C. ALBERTSON could still be alive, although of course most likely under a married name. Greetings from Oz, Lesley (In chilly Melbourne, Australia)
