Hello. We are searching for information about the family and decendents of Johannes Johannessen (Born April 4th, 1834, in Bräskaforse, in the county of Sorsele, Sweden), wife Elen Anna Villumsdatter (Born April 3th, 1838) and daughter Villummina Johannessdatter (Born 1865 and about six months at the time of emigration to America). Johannes' father was called Jonas and the familly name in use in America might be "Jonasson" or "Jonassen". The family name "Jonsson" was used when the family still lived in Sweden. When the Johannessen's lived in Norway, before departure to Amerika, they lived at Klungset, in the county of Fauske in Northern-Norway. The family came across to Grosse Isle, Quebec, on the "Ship Norden", leaving Bodø, Norway, on June 3rd, 1866, and arriving in Canada August 6th, 1866. Chances are that the family traveled further, down the rivers and into the United States. We would appreciate any help in solving this mystery. Thank you very much. Signed, Sivert and Randi Moen, Soknedal, Norway
