Men er dette rette Lorentz?

- hanne line -

[dn21262]

Hei, og takk for svar, men jeg tror det må være feil Lorentz. Etter det jeg vet fra en gammel bok, så var han gift med Alice Cornelia Norton, som jeg tror døde 1938 i Los Angeles. De hadde datteren Miriam som var født 1874 i Salinas. Hun kan ha blitt gift Nesbitt. Lorentz var kjøpmann og norsk/svensk konsul i Salinas, Kansas 1876. De kan også ha hatt sønnen Marcus.
Moren til Lorentz, Amalie Marie Buck, gift Schance, slo seg ned i Denvar Colorado med de to nevnte døtrene, Paula og Olga. Rart det ikke finnes spor etter noen av dem.
Jeg lurer faktisk på om den Lorentz dere har funnet kan ha vært fra Vardø. Nå har jeg sjekket alt jeg hadde om dem, og har ingen flere opplysninger, så om dere ikke finner noe,
så står jeg på stedet hvil. Hilsen Gullbjørg

Birth of a City by William G. Cutler (1883)

In June, 1872, L. G. Skancke was Chief Clerk in the Land Office at Salina, Kansas. Being informed by T. J. Wickersham, an old settler of Salina County, that a colony of Kentuckians intended to settle upon what was then known as the 'McPherson Flats,' he conceived the idea that it would be a good plan to lay out a town in this vicinity.

Hei Hanne Line. Nå ble jeg så overrasket, at om det ikke var slik at jeg satt godt på stolen min, så tror jeg at jeg hadde ramlet på gulvet. Himmel og hav for en smørbrødliste du har kommet ut med. Jeg er ikke i stand til å si mer akkurat nå enn tusen takk. Dette må jeg studere nærmere før jeg sier noe mer, men det er riktig alt sammen etter det lille jeg har sett. Du hører fra meg når jeg har fått pusten tilbake. Hilsen Gullbjørg

[dn21262]

Hei Hanne Line. Nå har jeg lest meg gjennom alt du har funnet. Jeg er imponert, og vet at jeg selv aldri hadde klart det. Jeg skal bare bemerke noen få ting. Olga Jaquette Schanke ble etter det du har funnet gift med Sophus Raaberg, og de hadde sønnen Ralph Schanke Raaberg. Det rare er at jeg har en utskrift av et klassebilde fra 1917, og der er Ralph. Ikke kan jeg huske hvor jeg har funnet det, og ikke har jeg satt det i noen sammenheng med Olga J. Schanke. Rart, og for en tilfeldighet. Så er det Alexandra Blomstad. Mener du at det er den samme som Alexandra Maren Schanke? I den gamle boken jeg refererte til i tidligere svar, så ble hun gift engang på 1870 tallet med kjøpmann Hans Esbensen fra Vadsø. De skal ha hatt mange barn. Jeg har kun notert akkurat det, og kan ikke si noe mer. Aldersmessig sett så er din Alexandra f. september 1846, mens min er f. 11.08.1846. Dette betyr kanskje ikke all verden, det ble jo ofte feil der borte. Kanskje snakker vi om samme dame. Miriam Nesbitt var en flott dame, tusen takk for dine fine lenker. Hilsen og takk fra Gullbjørg
