Message Board Post:
I am still looking for ANY info on Jens & Olive JACOBSEN (also have records with
spellings of JAKOBSEN / JACOBSON). Jens was my father's paternal grand-father.
Here's what I know (pertaining to Starke County):
-- 1927 - Jens is listed as a "farmer in Knox, Starke Co., IN"
(according to marriage application for my paternal grand-father)
-- Olive - name of Jens' second wife, age 65 in 1939-b.ca1874
(according to DC of Jens w/ info provided by his son, George)
-- Bass Lake, 18 yr resident prior to his death in 1939
(according to funeral records)
----------------------------------------------------------------
1920 census he is enumerated with 4 of his 7 children in Chicago, IL.
I have found no 1930 census records in Chicago, IL (where his adult children still lived)
or in Indiana.
Jens died in 1939 at the home of his oldest daughter in Chicago.
I'm hoping to learn more about my great-grandfather and this "brick-wall"
family.
- ? marriage records for Jens & Olive
- ? property or tax records from Starke County
Thanks in advance for ANY help.
