Details:

After writing the list of other family above, never have I more wanted to use the Scandinavian system of Farfar and Mormor. So much easier than that long explanation. But… as you can see, I have gotten very much further on Else's ancestral line since I wrote the original posts. I have actually gotten back to her grandparents, with more possible hints on Ancestry that I have not yet looked into, which means she is another success story.

Else has been on my family tree with her husband from the beginning. She was added to the tree by my grandmother's cousin, who was her father's aunt's daughter on this side of the family. But thanks to Ancestry, I have now gotten two more generations back.

Proof:
1) The only proof I had of Else is the information given to us by our distant cousin, who would have been her great granddaughter. Aside from that, I had no other information on her.

New Proof of Else:
2) I now have her confirmation, which lists her birthdate, as well as the names of her parents.
3) I have her in several Census records: 1834 with her parents and siblings; and 1840, 1845, 1850, 1870, 1880, and 1890 with her husband.
4) Her marriage record to Christen in 1835.
5) Birth records for eight of her ten known children.
6) Confirmation records for six of her ten known children.

Needed:

I now have all three of the big three records on Else, as well as a fairly good list of her children, and connections to her parents. Because I've gotten so far in her tree, I think she can wait now to do more. That makes her my fourth success story out of sixteen so far. Not bad, actually.


As always, if my family or anyone out there has any more information on this family, I'd love to talk to you about them. I'd love to learn more on any of them, if at all possible.
