Good morning Carol,
I'm not sure if my family was in that specific county, but they seemed to have been in a few places in Wis.
Louis Johnson, born abt 1870 in Sweden. Married Anna, son Harold born Waukesha in 1895. Later Louis married a Sophia in Wis (around 1898).

Do any of these names ring a bell?
Chris

Hi,
This is a different Louis Johnson. My ggrandfather was born in Norway and his wife Anna Peterson was born in Sweden. He did not have another wife, but his mother's name was Sophia, also born in Norway. His father was John Jonsen Kongsgaarden - born in Norway. I have found distant cousins with similar names also in WI, so it is possible that they could be in the same line. Carol

Thank you Carol for your quick reply.

It is so frustrating trying to research a name like "Johnson." I am still trying to make one last link and if that proves out, then I can trace my family beginning with Louis from Wisconsin all the way to Tacoma, WA. But there is just one missing link.

I do have someone doing some checking in Waukesha, WIS, but it doesn't look like he's having any luck.

Good luck with your family research.
