His wife Jenny, daughters Laura, Ethel, and Hattie, (my grandmother, born

information would be great! James took pictures of Indians on the Standing

took these pictures, more likely copied them from originals, to sell. But
I'm searching for anything about him. I'm told James' father, Charles Lucas
was a Hunkapapa Sioux. Any information, or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks

HANSON/HANSEN CARL, NELSON, NELSEN CAROLINE My Great Grandparents Carl Hanson
and Caroline Josephine Nelson both supposedly from Kongsvinger, Norway emigrated
to the USA around 1900 with their two minor children, Hilmer and Signe Amelia
Hanson. I do think that they Americanized their names to reflect the "son"
instead of the "sen" at the the end of their names, his name could have also
been Karl and hers Karoline. The only sure thing I have is that Signe Amelia
Hanson was the youngest child who was born on November 8, 1899, some say
1900. They lived in North Minneapolis until my Grandmother divorced Carl
for disappearing and she raised Hilmer who became blind at 29 and until my
Grandmother married my Grandfather Johan Gottfrid Berggren, (which later
was changed when he received his citizenship in 1934.) Both were from
Kongsvinger, Norway and they emigrated to the us around 1900. They had one
son who died as an infant, one two daughters, Elaine and Joyce and my father
Kenneth Bergren. If anyone knows of any information of either Carl Hanson
or Caroline Nelson Hanson, could you please contact me at barog@webtv.net.
Elaine my oldest Aunt has inoperable lung cancer and I would like to present
their complete family tree to her while she is here. Your health would be
greatly appreciated.

Looking for information on parents and siblings of Methuen William JONES
m. 16 Jun 1886 Minneapolis MN, to Emma Antionette STEPTOE(1852 WI - 3 Sept
1892 Minneapolis MN) daughter of Thomas Jefferson STEPTOE(1812 Suffolk, EN
- 26 Mar 1877 Dodge Co WI) & Anna Bellamy CLARKE(19 Jun 1813 Suffolk,
EN - 1880 Wi/MN?) Methuen William JONES was a Real Estate Broker in Minneapolis
MN at the time of his marriage, and supposedly died in a train wreck in 1910.
He was in partnership with George S. EICHMILLER, who supposedly was related,
but I have no proof. I have not been able to find his death or burial place,
and know nothing about any of his family, so any help will be greatly
appreciated. At the time of Emma's death in 1892, Methuen William was not
living with her, although they were not divorced. Methuen William JONES &
Emma Antionette JONES are my grandparents I never knew, so really would like
help in help. I do have the STEPTOE family way back and have met some of
them. but no one would tell me anything about Methuen other then he was a
"ladies man".
