    1. [WIDOUGLA] Karl Rikard Johannesen 1900s
    2. Kirsten Husband
    3. Hello- I am trying to help a Norwegian friend find an ancestor. I hope that someone can help. He is looking for Karl Rikard Johannesen who probably changed his name to Johnson when he came to the US. He was born in Norway on April 21, 1877 and came to the US in 1909. In Norway he worked as a tailor, but came here to seek his fortune so may be working in another capacity. The family back in Norway has a couple of cards from him dated from 1910-1917 that were postmarked in Superior. I have looked in the 1920 soundex, but cannot find a match. I have tried to look through the 1910 census for the city of Superior, but have just about given up--talk about a needle in a haystack! Is there anyone who would be able to check the City Directories and see if he is listed? Or, any other resources that might be available? Thank you very much, Kirsten
