LØST Hjelp til å finne etterkommere til Thora Jenny Eriksen og Omar Sheets i USA

[Bjørn Andreas Johansønn Løkken]

Dear forum , can someone please help me to find living descendants after Thora Jenny Eriksen from Norway that migrate to US in 1914 . Thora got married to Mr. Omar Sheets 27. april 1917 . " A very pretty home wedding occurred at the country home of Mr. And Mrs. W.J.Sheets near Chenoweth in Slope County "

 

From the 1940 US census :

 

 

name :Omar W Sheets

 

titles & terms:

 

event: Census

event year:1940

 

event place: Bowman, Bowman Village, Bowman, North Dakota, United States

Gender : Male

Age : 44

marital status: Married

 

birthplace: Illinois

 

estimated birth year: 1896

 

residence in 1935: Rural, Slope, North Dakota

 

wife : Thora J Sheets

 

Age 43 , born in Norway

 

 

son : Earl W Sheets , Age 21 . Earl was married in Silver Bow County , Montana ,1 February in 1946 med Dorothy Westfall

 

 

daughter : Edith M Sheets ,“Born to Mr. and Mrs O.Sheets on Thursday morning Sept. 13. A baby girl. Baby doing fine.” (annonsene er fra Slope County Mineral Springs Tribune 1915-1917)" Age 19 . Edith was married 17 of may in 1944 med Emil Lewison in Baker , Fallon, Montana . Emil's mother was Irene Ho(ø)glie from Norway .

 

Son : Kenneth L Sheets , Age 13 . No more info about him .

 

Son : Raymond O Sheets , Age 9 . No more info about him .

 

Son : Walline W J Sheets , Age 8 . No more info about him .

 

Son : Norman R Sheets , Age 1 . No more info about him

 

 

It has been told that Mr. Omar Sheet was serving in the WW 2 . And that 2 or 3 of his sons was serving in the Viet Nam War and died there ( or could it be their grand children ? ) . Any information about any service by members of the Sheet family in WW2 and Viet Nam war will be very appricated .

 

But the main thing for me is to get help to get in touch with descendants of the Sheets family in USA .

 

NB . Thoras mann Omar Sheets døde . Når vet man ikke , men Thora skal ha giftet seg opp igjen med en Bolheim i USA , med angivelig Mathias som fornavn . Barn fra dette ekteskapet er tvilsomt .

 

Hopefully someone can help me with this , and it will be very appricated .

 

Best wishes and the very best regards from Bjørn Løkken
