Research Notes and Questions

  • in 1914, Helge lists "Per Jörgenson" as his nearest relative/friend on his immigration record. Who is he and how is he connected?
  • In 1917, Helge registers for the WWI draft - but then what happened to him? Did he serve?
    • cos1776 Note: I haven't been able to find him in any US census records or casualty lists for WWI.
  • In 1917, Helge claims on his draft card that he is supporting his Mother - does this mean that she also emigrated to USA?
    • cos1776 Note: she is not listed on the passenger list with Helge and I have not been able to find her in the US.
