Gustav var født 5/3 1873 og dro 6/6 1900 til Varren i Minnesota med Allan `Tasso. Kan noen finne han igjen i USA ?
Re: Gustav Martin Johansen fra Rødøy
Supert - hans bestefar var treskjærer, og muntlige kilder hevder at han skar altertavle i USA.
Han blir i alle fall kalt snekker.

You think Gust decorated church in US ?
Re: Gustav Martin Johansen fra Rødøy
Gustavs grandfather was a very clever woodcarver. This art is genetic.

Hei Eirik!
In 1940 it says Gustav is a carpenter...the industry is listed as "building construction".
In 1910 and 1920 he is a carpenter of houses...
I am not sure if he did carpentry/decoration on churches.
He had to support his family...so perhaps "general carpentry" is what he got paid to do.
But I can not say for sure, if he did any other kind of special carpentry.
