Wandering Around The Family Tree

    I'm very lucky to have several of my grandmother Evelyn Clara Call's (1895-1962) photo albums. And perhaps even luckier that she labeled many of the photos - so I know roughly when and where they were taken, and who was in the photos.  My grandmother attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois in 1915-1916, and then Cornell University in Ithaca, New York from 1916-1919.

Growing up, I didn ’t know very much about my mother’s mother’s family. I knew that my Grandmother Helen was born in Brooklyn, had grown up in Iowa, and then her family moved to Penn Yan, New York where they lived on a farm. Both her parents, Hans B Christensen (1867-1938) and Henriette Ostergaard (1876-1963), immigrated from Denmark, and her father was a blacksmith and had worked on the railroads before he got married. When I looked at all the records listing Hans ’ occupation across his lifetime, I was surprised at the number and variety of occupations I found.   In February 1890, Hans Christensen, was working as a smedesvend or journeyman blacksmith in Saedinge, Fulse, Maribo, Denmark. He lived in the household of Hans Jorgensen, a local blacksmith [1] . That summer, Hans left Denmark for the United States. On July 9, he was approved for emigration from Denmark. He stated that he was 23 years old, a blacksmith, and that his intended destination in America was Randolph, Wisconsin...
