Hoping that you are still inquiring about the Danelson's - My name is Kathleen Krause
and I am related to Wilhemina (Minnie) Tobina Swenson who was Gertrude Swenson
Danelson's younger sister. They had one older sister Olive(Lova) Swenson Johnson who
stayed in Norway and a younger brother Sven(Sam) who died when young in Norway. The
information I received from my grandmother Minnie & her children: Inga, Hanna, Tennes
& Sylvia(my Mother) was that Charles (Charley) & Gertrude (Gertie) Danelson had 7
children that lived (and 3 plus miscarriages or stillbirths) From oldest to youngest was:
Clara, Carl, Leonard, Mae, Benjamin (Benny) & Stanton. Last I heard was that Leonard,
Benny & Stanton lived in Scobey, Montana. I believe Leonard lived in the family home
still. Leonard's wife was Zelfa, Benny's wife was Deloris, & Staton's
wife was Vera.
Since my Mother is now in a nursing home I haven't heard any further info nor checked
lately to see if the 3 brothers are still "living" there.
Any information you might have on the Swenson side of the family from Norway would be much
appreciated. I know my grandmother was born in Eftelund(farm), Stavanger, Norway.
It was a nice suprise to find your entry while checking on
Ancestry.com. Hope to hear
from you when you can reply.
Thank you
