Rasmus Johnson and his wife Hannah Hanson are my g-g grandparents.

Their daughter, Emma Johnson, married Thomas Drayton.

Their son, Leslie George Drayton, married Mayme Gerber.

My father Leslie Howard Drayton married Winifred King (from Butte, Montana).

I would like to know more about Rasmus Johnson and Hannah... what country they came from and any pictures that might be available of any of their family.

This is from the Bureau County, Il Voters and Tax Payers Directory - Fairfield Township - 1877

JOHNSON Rasmus; sec 24; P.O. New Bedford; farmer; Swedish Luth; owns 40 acres.

Thank you for any help,

Marilyn Drayton Beatty

Hi there. I'm looking for relatives of Emma Reule who we know she lived in or near Chigaco and had at least one son Edward Johnson. I'm not sure if she ever married his father (Chuck?) as some family members told us that she was a married "Goetsch" in Chigaco and others told us she changed her name into Jean Smith.
Emma was born 1897 in Michigan and died around 1982 but we don't know where and if she had (more) family?

Anybody out there knowing that family?
Thanks in advance!

Heidrun,
You have posted on a message thread for Rasmus Johnson. How is "Emma" related to him? How is she related to Tampico? Or Whiteside County? Or anywhere in this area? Is Reule her maiden name? Emma Reule to Jean Smith? Hmmmm....I suspect you need to do a little more homework, or give us more information. Be sure to post on an appropriate message board either by "Surname" or "Geography."
