| Kara Ishii | I am trying to find out information on the siblings and parents of Jens E. Markuson/Markusen and Marn Andrina (Brekke) Markuson/Markusen (wife of Jens E. Markuson/Markusen).
About Marn:
Jens and Marn sailed on the same boat from Maridalen, Christiana, Norway (where they were born), arrived in New York in 1870, and were married. Marn Andrina ("Maria") (b. 09 August 1847 in Maridalen, Christiana, Norway) died at home of her sister, "Mrs. Hans (Liza) Brekke". Death certificate of "Mrs. Maria Markuson" states burial place as "South Trinity", burial date March 10, 1929. Parents: Jens Brakke and Anna Marie Mortensen/Mortensdatter, who was born in Norway.
I found the name Hans O. Svensingen Brekke in a GEDCOM file on RootsWeb.com. The wife of Hans O. Svensingen Brekke--Elise Agneta (Lisa) Jensdatter Hansen-might be the sister of Marn (Brekke/Brakke) Markusen. The RootWeb.com GEDCOM file information says Lisa's father was Jens Hansen and that Lisa's mother's name was Anna Marie Mortensdatter. Lisa Jensdatter Hansen's husband, Hans Brekke, died in 1921.
Are Marn and "Liza" (Lisa?) sisters? Does anyone have information about Jens Hansen and Anna Marie Mortensdatter, for example, about their birth or death dates and locations?
About Jens:
Jens (b. 15 Feb 1847 in Christiana, Maridalen, Norway) married Marn apparently in 1870 in NY and then moved by train to Greenfield Prairie, Minnesota, where he had a married brother. Parents names: Markus Christopherson and "Maria". Any info on Jens' siblings or parents?
