Hello Carroll, Your ANDERSON line doesn't by any chance have a Benjamin (Bennie) Milo ANDERSON in it, does it? I've been told he was born in 1886 in Blair, Wisconsin. He settled in Snohomish County and married Elin (Ellen) KENSETH/ Kjenseth who immigrated to the U.S. in 1903 from Biri, Norway. The Kjenseth family relocated from Wisconsin to Snohomish County by sometime in 1905. My information is that Benjamin M. Anderson was born 12 Oct 1886 and died in Seattle 1967. Most of the men related to the Kenseth/ Kjenseth family worked in the saw mills around Granite Falls, Everett, Marysville, etc. I know this is a remote chance, but .....no harm in asking. <G> Thanks, Bonnie Menzer Barnes Perth, Western Australia From: Carroll Clark <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2001 1:56 AM Subject: ANDERSON FAM. -GEN.
