I can't identify too many of the ancestors; I've just found out who John Mortensens parent swere, but I definetely know a lot of some of the descendants!Hans Jakob Johnsen, born 1818, was my gg-grandfather (and my ggg-grandfather as well).Would very much like to get in contact!

[Gjest Kjell Hamberg]

To Jonn Harry Eriksen: Please contact me, too. After the first contact with Mary Farrell and Diane McKellar (who's the actual descendant of John Mortensen), Diane and I have been quite successful in identifying John Mortensen's ancestors back to around 1700 ans slightly before. I'm very much interested in comparing our findings.Kjell Hamberg (khamberg@enitel.no - ihvertfall en uke til).
