| I am researching the Jensen's that came from Denmark to New York in 1888. Jens Jensen,his wife,and son Beck (Holger?) came together with a friend-Niels. They settled in upstate NY. At one point Jens Jensen owned a piece of property called Kasong Point,in Seneca,NY. Their First son was born in Denmark,but the other children were born in the USA.We believe these were their names;John Albert,Edward or Carl,Carrie(the only girl),and several others.John Albert and Annie Marie(Turner) were the parents of William Albert,Beck Holger,Edward Carl,Charles,George,and John Christen.John Christen Married Laurel J.Perry in 1947. They had three boys,Dana,Darrell and David.Darrell is my husband of 27 years.Any info could help put this Tree together. Info about Laurel Perry's family is also needed--Her mother was Bertha Hooker,she married Otto Perry. Laurel's siblings were; Raymond,Helen,Mary Arlene. I am also looking for my own family--my parents,Paul Lee Rast and Betty Jean Sharpe from Columbus,MS. Grandparents;Vallie M. Sharpe & Maudie Francis Hayward///Oscar Copeland Rast & Nora Wade all from the Mississippi/Alabama area.Nora was Cherokee Indian. Paul's siblings;Bernell(Nell),Molly Louise,William(Willie)Joe and Oscar Copeland Jr. Betty's 1/2 brother/sister; Juanita and Horace Sharpe. Some of the other names that have found their way into our family are;Mississippi area-(surnames)Atkins,Hollinger,Browning,Sobley,Johnston,Howell,R.N.Smith, Thornburg,Williams,Bunnell,Meadows,Price,St.John,Glenn,Parr,Leech Pridmore,Tennyson,Lavender.
