Josephine Swenson b. Olsen, married to Asseus Swenson
Hi
The sister of my greatgrandfather, Josefine (Josephine) Olsen was born Aug 26, 1861 in Modum and emigrated to US sometime after her confirmation 1876.
We know she was married to a Asseus Swenson from Norway and gives birth to a daughter, Hattie Sept 20, 1889(?) in or near Duluth and a son, August born in the 1890's.
With great help I found Josephines obituary when she died July 29, 1943 in Tacoma.
Unfortunately the obit did not give much information.
We were told she was survived by four sons and given their initials:
S. A., A. E and H. W. living in Kapowsin - one of them with a son Ronald.
W. F. living in Tacoma (University Place).
From the initials of her children I believe Josephine and Asseus lived in Duluth in the 1910-census and children were:
Sven August born ab. 1896 in Iowa
Adolph A. born about 1901 (Des 1, 1900) in Wisconsin (probably West Superior) (A. might be a mistake?)
William F. born about 1904 in Wisconsin (probably West Superior)
Herman W. born about feb. 1908
Still in Duluth in 1920 and 1930 in Silver (Carlton County).
(They might be in Superior in the 1900 census, but with some wrong information: August = Augusta born april 1900 in Iowa; no Hattie or dead child)
I have not found the emigration of Josefine. According to the censuses it was 1885 or 1889.
I have not found the birth of their children or the death of Hattie in any register.
I have not found the marriage of Josephine and Asseus. According to information in the census they were married about 1894/95.
I have not found World War cards for their sons?
I know nothing about Asseus. (According to the censuses his birthyears are 1862, jan 1865 and 1867; and he was naturalized in 1892.) Asseus died Jan 6, 1946 in Tacoma.
Can someone find more information and help me verify if this is "my" Josephine's family or not?

Du har ikke oppgitt navn på foreldrene så jeg vet ikke om dette er rett, men hun var i alle fall en Olsdatter/Olsen.

Hvor har du denne fødselsdatoen fra?

Hvor har du denne informasjonen fra? Er Asseus far til Hattie også? Utfra census emigrerte Josefine i 1889/1890.

Hei
Utrolig så mye informasjon du fant på kort tid! Takk skal du ha!
Josephines mor heter Andersdatter ikke Olsdatter som det står i folketellingen fra 1865.
Det er en mulig Adolph Swenson i U.S. Social Security Death Index som er født omtrent på riktig tid og dør mai 1974. Han var født 1. des. 1900. (Det var meningen å sette et ? etter.)
Opplysningene om giftemålet med Asseus og datteren Hattie har jeg fra et svært gammelt familienotat og det skal være datteren til både Josephine og Asseus. Det er derfor jeg er litt usikker på om det er riktig familie. Men det kan jo være at notatet har feil opplysninger.
