Exceedingly long shot. In 1900census in Alaska there is a Rasmus Johnson whose last address in the lower 48 was at San Francisco in April 1900. Johnson and Thomsen could sound similar....

| I think Forsand is a dead end... it seems Olga is only mentioned because of her lastname...? I think we need to see the complete three of the matching cousins..., for me it seems the match must come from a different branch |

| Just a comment on Olga. At her emigration is says residence Farsund, which is in Vanse, Vest-Agder. The birthrecord of Olga above is from Forsand, which is in Strand, Rogaland. 2 complete different locations. Likely (and hopefully); the emigration record has a typo and it should say Forsand. Not sure what is the source for the birthdate 02-02-1879? If it comes from American records, the Olga from Forsand is the correct one. Otherwise, someone has been following the wrong track... |
