Anna.

I have tried to find the Jorgensons in 1910 Washington ,but I couldn`t find them. Strange.......They should have been listed.
Peter and his wife Kjersti lived in 1930 ,and John Jorgensen/son 1920.
John had a son Fred born 1907 maybe I have to look for him??? I guess he`s dead by now.
This John in 1920 emigrated 1887 ,and mine in 1883 ,but all of the other things seems to fit ,so I believve it`s the right one.
