Thanks for checking. Good luck with your Martin & Pete search.

Martin did not have those names for his children,neither did Peter. Sorry

Re: Monson

lynsara — 2009-10-13 13:38:17Z

I just went back and checked my records, I have two children listed for Martin Monson/Monsen and his unknown wife; they are Henry Monson/Monsen and Bergit Monson/Monsen. Do you know the names of any of your Martin's children?

Re: Monson

lynsara — 2009-10-12 22:15:29Z

I'm sorry I know nothing about the brothers descendants. I have only information on their ancestors. Back in the 1970s a relative made family charts of two couples. It followed each of the children and their children etc. It only gave names, no dates, places, or information on spouses other than their names. Benedicte Katrine Eilertsen married Martin Monsen, (I have verified that the wife was definately born 1836 and husband may have been also) and had Pete and Martin. The tree just stops there (contact with the branch seems to have been lost). These branches of the family seemed to have immigrated to WI, MI, MN, ND, and IL so I am exploring all these areas as most new family arrivials seemed to have started out staying with other family when first arriving in the US. I saw your post wanted to reply as your two brother names matched mine. Do you know any of the names of the brother's children? (Often in Norse families that could be a clue)

Re: Monson

angsmith990 — 2009-10-12 21:01:06Z

I don't have any other info on Martin and Peter. Were yours in Traverse CO., MN and married to sisters Sarah Betsey and Ellen Dorotea Larson/Halvorsen/Okkelberg who were from Norway? Martin and Ellen had 10 children and Peter and Sarah had 13.

I am just starting my Monson/Monsen research so I do not know what year Martin and Pete were born. Do you know who the mother of your Martin and Peter were?

Re: Monson

angsmith990 — 2009-10-12 19:05:29Z

Peter A. Monson was born in Sweden Mar 20, 1851/2 and Martin also born in Sweden on Aug 29, 1859/60 these dates are found on various records. There is also a Nels Monson born in 1850/51 who may be related who was the sheriff from Traverse County and Monson twp was named for Peter and him,
Thanks for your message.

I also have a Martin and Pete Monson/Monsen who are brothers. Pete and Martin were the children of Benedikte Katrine Eilertsen and Martin Monson/Monsen who were married about 1857. What years were your Martin and Peter born?

Catherine Monson (1851-1928)

tashmoore — 2009-10-07 18:29:14Z

I am looking for info on Catherine Monson (1851-1928). I know she married Johnston Haire (1847-1905) but I don't know what year. I also don't know anything about either of their parents. They had a daughter named Sarah Jane Haire (1881-1973) who story has it moved to Ohio around 1898 when she was 17. I have Sarah being born in Boyle, Co Roscommon, Ireland. After Sarah came to the US she married a man named William Moore (1872-1943).

Ron,
I know this postof yours was dated six years ago..Not sure how successful you were in gatheringinfo on your great grandparents. My paternal grandparents were oren and Lillian Tharp. Burnette was my great Aunt.I am well aquainted with then. I seldom saw my Aunt Laverne, since shw lived in California. Feel free to contact me if you're still needing information. P.S. I am in possession of two photographs, of Elief and Belle. In good condition.
the self portraits measure approx. 2' by 1.5' Would have been taken around 1900, I'm assuming.

rhans — 2008-05-29 18:45:47Z

This is 2008 and I wonder if anyone has found information on William Victor Monson and his family. I have a little but I am trying to get information on his wife. This is what I have.
Wm. V. Monson b. 1830 Nicholas Co, KY.
M. Sarah Owen 8 May 1850 in Coles Co, IL.
he d. March 1865 probably in Hurricane Twp. Carroll Co, MO
Sarah d. after 1880 same location.
Children:
Elizabeth
Sarah Jane
Benjamin Samuel
William Henry
Laura
Alonzo Edgar
I have more details about the family but I do not have the date of Sarah's birth or death. Perhaps she remarried after Mr. Monson's death.

Sarah's father was Lawrence W. Owen.

Re: Monson, John -m- Persdotter, Christine

pollyab — 2006-07-06 11:36:48Z

I believe my Hannah was married to someone named Thollander and they lived in the Chicago area. I don't believe there was a sister named Caroline. Also, there was never any mention by my great-grandmother, who was Hannah's sister, that any of her family had settled in Iowa. Most of the family in this generation lived either in the Chicago area or northern PA. However, my research is far from complete so anything is possible. If I come across any pertinent info, I'll be sure to pass it on.

Re: Monson, John -m- Persdotter, Christine

skysmom94 — 2006-07-06 11:36:29Z

Sodergren & settled around Lockridge, IA...I know Hannah had a sister named Caroline who married a Lindbom (also Iowa) ...my people came from Sweden in Mid 1800's....that's all I know , but am trying to do detective work....if you think there might be a connection....let me know...thanks!

Re: Monson, John -m- Persdotter, Christine

Cindi, are you still working on this line? I have some information about P.J. Sodergren and Hannah's family. I live fairly near Lockridge and have recently picked this line up again. P.J. and Hannah were my husband's g-grandparents.

Monson, Elling and Christine - S.Dakota to Oregon

JoyPaulson — 2006-07-05 11:44:59Z

Looking for any info on Elling Monson, who was living in Silverton, OR in 1930. He was born 5/26/1861 in Norway, lived in SD where he and 1st wife, Christine (1860-1899, buried in Egeland Cemetery, Waubay, SD) had William, Clara, Elmer, Frank, John, Fred, and Andy (?). He then married Gertrud Rislov and moved to Oregon. Sons William and John also went to OR. It looks like son William had sons Robert (1917-1987) and William (1915-1990). I would love any shred of info on them.. many thanks...

Monsn, Carrie -m- Soderberg, John Andrew

debrasoderberg — 2006-07-05 11:42:46Z

Looking for my G-GM's family that may have immigrated also around 1879 or '80. What I know is she had a set of twin daughters, born in Norway abt. 1878 or so. When in passage to America, daughter Clara survived, twin sister did not. My G-GF was Swedish and went by John Andrew or Andrew John b. 1-12-1848, known in MN as "Soderberg" but... heard his father's name was Charlie Johnson. Another surname - change connected to him, was probably to Carlson, but no first names are known. Eldest son of the couple was found to be Martin Soderberg, b. April 1880 in Massachusettes, he lived in Aitkin Cty., MN. most of his adult years. John and Carrie raised their family in Meeker Cty., Dassel, MN. I'd seen in one census that 9 of her 12 children were living. Knowing that Elmer was b.in MN 1903, and likely her youngest, 10 names are known. My G-F August Christian Soderberg was born in 1883 MN. His sisters were Tillie(Mathilda), Lillian, Ella, Minnie (Amanda), and Clara.
Brother's names were Martin, Melvin, Menser and Elmer.
John died on Christmas Eve in Dassel 1932. Carrie passed away on August 10, 1945 in Minneapolis. She had resided there with one of her daughters. I haven't any Monson history to search, I'm hoping someone will find her and then contact me. Thanks for checking.

Monson, John -m- Persdotter, Christine

pollyab — 2006-07-05 11:42:29Z

Looking for info on my great-great-grandparents and their children. John Monson was born on 18 Oct 1831, died 11 Jul 1920. Christine was born on 4 Jul 1836 and died on 9 Jul 1911. Christine's maiden name may have been Persdotter. Lived in Chicago area and northwestern PA. They had 14 children including Gust, Emma, Hattie, Anna, Hilma, Charles, Hannah, Amanda, and twins Hilda (Ida) and Augusta. Any info would be appreciated.

John Monson/Johannes S. Mnsson

laurieskeller — 2006-05-19 10:23:34Z

I'm looking for any records associated with John Monson (born
Johannes Samuel Mnsson in December of 1823 in Grdsby parish,
Sweden to parents Mns Samuelsson and Catharina Jonassdotter.
He emigrated to the US (Illinois?) in the late 1840s, probably with
a wife (who may have been named Caisa or Kaisa), and at least one
child. He had a child in Illinois, then moved in 1855 or 1856 to Chisago
Lake area of Minnesota Territory, where he had an additional child.
He probably died in Chisago Lake area in 1891 -- but beware as there
were two John Monsons there and records appear confused.

Any help on this man, his movements in the US, family in US, would
be very gratefully received. In return, I can tell you his history in
Sweden, and fill in ancestry.
