Hi Dean,
So nice to see that you are still active with genealogy. I wanted to tell you that since
we last communicated, I have met or e-mailed many of my cousins. Lowell and Norma have
passed on, but I am in regular communication with Elinor and Libby (Paulina's
descendants)and have met or e-mailed two of Anna Norgaard Morris Behrman's descendants
and have started correspondence with one of them.
Last summer, I went to Reno and visited with several cousins and also met a descendant of
Little Chris.
We have shared much family history. I saw the Jensen mansion (Paulina's house) in
Gardnerville, Genoa, home to Petra and Anna for a while and the wild west town of Bodie
where Anna and her husband, Morris Harris, sent supplies to via a six horse hitch. Anna
was honored as a pioneer woman as she was the first woman sole trader in Nevada. She
provided banking services, mortgages and real estate services to miners, cowboys and
others.
I hope that you have had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you for all your
work on our line and for the opportunity to meet such lovely cousins.
Carol
