Hello! I have a Per Johansen in my family.  Here is what I know about him (which is not much).

He had a Daughter named Gertrude.

Gertrude married a man named Peter

Peter and Gertrude had a son named Oscar William Peterson. He is my great grandfather.

It is said that Per raised Oscar.  

I have these notes regarding Oscar William Peterson:

Lived with grandfather Per Johansen in a log cabin on a little

farm until 22 years old.

Received money from a friend, Carl Dahlgren, who went to

America. Oscar traveled to Copenhagen in the fall of 1910, and

bought a ticket on Cunard Line Maueritania. Took the train from

Ellis Island to Chicago, Duluth, and Hibbing, arriving 3 Nov

1910.

Just wanted to see if anybody can confirm this or knows anything more. Thanks!

Mike
