I am looking for John Eric Thorsen (Christian Victor Jensen). He was born in Marinette, WI and adopted by William Thorsen and wife. Live in or around Berkeley, CA.
Was born around 1906 and died about December 1990. Would appreciate any information. He would have been my mother's brother.

We are looking for the same person please contact me at gcal123@att.net

My son lives in the Thorsen House in Berkeley, CA. It is owned by the Sigma Phi Fraternity. The house is a National Historic House which is open to the public for tours on Saturdays. It is considered an Ultimate Bungalow, designed by Greene and Greene.

My son asked me to do some research on Ancestry to find out about the Thorsen family. William R. & Caroline Thorsen lived in Berkeley, CA 2307 Piedmont Ave. from about 1909 until 1942 when they both died. There are two sons that show up on Census records in 1920. (Both listed as adopted sons) John Eric age 13 in 1920 and Hubert R. age 12 in 1920. Let me know if you need more info. I'm still digging. Have you tried looking up Thorsen in the phone book in Santa Clara?

Hi Lori,
William and Caroline is my mothers grandparents. Hubert Thorsen is her biological father. I have pictures of the Thorsen's and also one of the house when they lived in it. My grandmother has told me stories of the house. Hubert and Eric have both passed away. I know that Hubert has several children. Eric and Hubert both were adopted in Michigan at an early age. You are welcome to e-mail at gcal123@att.net. I do have some info to share with you,
Catherine.

I have some information for you, but have company, so will get back to you soon
