Hi,

I wonder if someone can please do a look up for a Evangaline Rasmussen born Sweden 1876.

I have had a search but can't find her in under that name. There is a
Anna Rasmussen in Middlesex, Massachusetts in 1900 census. I am wondering if this maybe her.

She marries in Massachusetts 1901. Her occupation is a Tailoress.


Thank you .
Ali

I am just popping out. will be on line in a few hours :-)

Hi Lynski,

Thank you for all details.

Can you please check this out for 1900 census.

Anna Rasmussen in Middlesex, Massachusetts in 1900 census. I am wondering if this maybe her.....Could be her middle name!

Looking at the Birth of her son Robert 1902 it does have her middle name as A.

Thank you Astra & Lynski

Now i'm confused :-(

Sorry so many ?'s.....Does it say on this census 1900) when they migrated?

:-S

Astra

Astra Report 10 Jun 2011 07:16

It tells you on the census. 1888. What do you know about Evangeline. Where does her name come from?

Alison

Alison Report 10 Jun 2011 07:27

Hi Astra,

I really dont know much ...just starting searching she states Sweden as Birth place...I did go to the Library yesterday did a very quick search...On the census when she is married I thought it said she migrated 1898! You may be able to check this...

Thank you

Astra

Astra Report 10 Jun 2011 07:32

It is definitely 1888. Father August went in 1885 and the rest of the family 3 years later.

What did you find where she states Sweden as a birthplace?

I can't find her and Thomas in the USA census

Alison

Thanks mgnv!

I am still a little confused with this....having found what I think the Anna and father in 1910 census . I Wonder if someone could have a look at the transcript to see if this is the same family. August states his employment as a glass cutter in 1900 census.The mothers birthplace also varies from Russia to Denmark.

Also does anyone know if is it possible to get any shipping details from 1888?

He is a Glass Cutter in 1910 too. So Angelina is obviously not Anna as she is still with her father in 1910.
She may be the one transcribed as Lillian in 1900.
But you still haven't told us how this person is related to you or where her name came from.

Alison

Thank you .....

Could well be lillian I guess.

The link to Evangaline is her marraige to Mathew Torrance who came from Scotland!

Thank you.
