WILLIAMSEN posted by Edward Johnson on Sunday, January 25, 1998

We are looking for descendants of Sven WILLIAMSEN. He farmed north of Dannebrog and was buried in St. Paul. We have worked on his ancestry, but have none of his living descendants on our list. He was born in Haugeson, Norway Dec. 7, 1862, and died Feb. 20, 1957. If he homesteaded or not I don't know. The Howard County map on the wall in Court House in St. Paul dates from 1915, I believe, and shows he owned three separate parcels just north of Dannebrog on both sides of the road. Any one that wishes to confer on this can reach me at HC 52, Box 561, Hempill, TX, 75948 or ralllph@jas.net.
