I found another Skridsvik in Jarvso parish area maybe this is where he was born and only lived in Skredsvik and what other info do you have on Noone born in skredsvik born 1892 apr 12 ?

I Found nothing in the birth records but I can be wrong...

My reference is to Church book Skredsvik C:5 Page 183

Question Do you have access to Swedish church books and can check?

SVAR and Arkiv Digital are the major vendors but you need subscription...

My great grandfather is Andrew Johnsen born in 1881 in Norway and died in 1939 in New York he married Elizabeth Smith who was also born in Norway 1885 and died in 1973.There son's are my grandfather William K. Johnsen born N.Y.1912-Died in N.J.1978, My Uncle Walt born N.Y.1915-Died 1984 N.Y. There are two sisters to Margaret Johnsen born 1910 N.Y. - Died ? and Mabel Johnsen born 1913 in N.Y.- Died 1998 in N.Y. I'm having a hard time finding any thing out to. It seems like the name's keep's changing. I do know when the last name was changed, that some kept it the same johnson. When I'm looking up Johnsen/Johnson I don't know where to look.
