Ellen Mathilda Asp

  Research Notes:

Summary: Ellen Mathilda Asp was my 3rd cousin, twice removed. In 1918 she married Soren Christian Pedersen. They lived most of their life in Carver Co, MN where they had a farm. Ellen and Soren had a large family, with 15 children, although 2 children died as infants.

As with other individuals on my database, I have started my research with Ancestry Family Trees (FTs). However, often the FTs are incomplete and thus do not give a full story or outline of the family. Because of this, I have had to use other sources, such as US Census Records, birth and death records, and newspapers. All of the information that I have utilized are from accessible public records,

Because of the Ellen's large family, I have recorded a "Modified Descendant report" - see below. I have not recorded the Ellen's children on my Legacy database. When I had additional information on any of the children, I used an * to highlight - see the added information/sources below, along with some additional FTs.
