Gustaf and Anna Olson are my maternal grandparents. My grandmother is their daughter Edna Louise. My mother is Edna's daughter Dorothy. Edna had two sisters that I knew, my great-aunt Alma and great-aunt Elsie. I am not aware of any brothers. Edna also had seven other live children, Edward, William, Robert, David, Ruth, Helen, and John. All have passed on except Robert and John as of this time last year when I last corresponded with my uncle Robert. This is my first experience on GenealogyWise. I signed up because I was looking online for an address or phone number for my Uncle John because the last I knew he was living in the San Diego, CA area, and I'm going there in October and was hoping to visit him. That is where I came across this site and was very surprised to see the names Gustaf and Anna Olson. I think I'll brouse around here and see what there is to see! I believe this makes you my great-great uncle????

Gustave Olsen with wife Anna lives in Brooklyn. He is born about 1868 and is afirefighter. They have 2 sons, Arthur, 25 ( engineer at Bell laboratories) and Harold, 22 (clerk).
My question is if anybody knows anything about the sons.I think Arthur in the 1930th moved to Spokane and got married.
