Person:Ole Mortensen (1)

From a letter from Anna Mortensen MacKersie to her son-in-law. Contributed by Tani Perinona 8 June 2003:

"Ole was the eldest. He also came to the U.S.A. and settled in Wisc. His wife Jesena, after Uncle Ole's death and my mother's death, was married to my father in 1906 -- a very kindly person -- whom we all loved. To she andUncle Ole were born 6 children. Father had 2 other brothers and two sisters of whom I know very little. The two brothers lived in Perth Ambos, N J. The two sisters stayed in Denmark -- the one I know continued to live in Aarhus -- she was married to a man by the name of Jensen. He was a contractor -- had a large family mostly boys -- These boys followed the building trade -- settled in and around Chicago. The other girl lived near Copenhagen."
