Anna.

Well....the only thing I know for sure is this.
I found Christian Jorgenson in a book published in 1924 ,and the information then can have been from somewhere around 1910 ,and it listed a address for Christian Jorgenson: Rt.1 ,East Stanwood ,Washington. I can`t be more accurate than that. Actually he may have been alive 1930 too ,but I don`t know.

Erik.
