Mother - Mathea/Thea Johanneson Lyngby Kristiansen Ruud, born August 26, 1859 in Biri and died April 30, 1936. She is buried in Western Cemetery in Oslo. Mathea ran a cafe on the ship Motala that ran up and down the coast of Norway. Mathea was recorded on the boat during the 1900 census but her son Jon was not.
Mathea's father was Johannes Knudsen born 1822 d 1862 in Lyngby u/Nord-Unset. Mathea's mother was Marit Johansdatter born 1822 and died October 5,1903 at Lyngby af Kluge
According to my grandmother, Jon/Jonny went to high school in Oslo and played an instrument in the band. He then became a ship/boat captain. He married and had at least two children. On one of his boat/ship trips, he came to USA in Iowa to visit his father's sister, Olava Olsen Larsen. On another trip, before 1917, he became ill and was taken off the ship and died in France.

CHRISTIANSEN-DREWOn August 23, 1923, my mother, EDNA LOYD DREW of BLackfoot, ID married EDWINE. CHRISTIANSEN. From what I know the marriage did not survive long. They moved to CA, but I think Mr. C returned to ID. Also, I have heard there was a daughter from that union. All I really want to know is about that child. I have been searching since my mother died in 1995. She never told me about a daughter but of course someone else did. She is my sister and I would love to know about her.My mother was related to the Drew's,Rowles', Locey's and the Rhodes. Does anyone know Kenneth and Ruth Rowles? Can anyone help me?
