I am searching for help, of the Olsson family of Tampico, and the Olson family of Bureau County, Illinois. I feel there is a connection.
My Great Grandmother was Lena Olsson, that married John Person/Pearson
I am writing the book on the Olsson, and have gone back into Sweden to 1460
Can someone help me. I would appreciate it very much
Sincerely

Lavonne,
I emailed Joan Johnson to double check on her connection. She said you have already been in contact with each other. Can you give me a little more information on Lena/John? DOB,DOD, residence, place of death - that type of thing. Do you have any idea of where the connection is? Joan & Betsy (nee: Olson) do not think there is any connection to their family line. I don't know where your research has taken you or where you think the common link lies. Have you gone through all of the obits? Does any of the following info pertain to your families? 1920 United States Federal Census about Lena Pearson
