Jan, Henrietta (aka Henriette, Henrijette, and even Harietta on one US census) Jacobsen
Jessen is my great grandmother. Her daughter, Mary Jessen, is my grandmother.
Henrietta's parents were Christiane Rossen and L.P. Jacobsen. I have a certified
copy of her death certificate. It states she was born in Denmark Feb. 5, 1839 and died
March 18, 1913.
I also have Andrew Jessen's death certificate. He was a retired ship's carpenter,
born in Denmark July 31, 1835 and died in Nevada Sept. 24, 1927.
I believe her brother, Mathias, is the one known as "Uncle Mathias" to my
dad's cousin, Arlie Jessen Hawkins. I wrote you another email earlier today...and
just found this link. I was having trouble figuring out how we might be related. I
believe Henriette (it is Henrijette on the death certificate) is the firstborn of LP
Jacobsen and Christiane Rossen since she was born in 1839.
Hope you see these emails as I'd love to talk to you. Linda Wilder Shineman
