Per Oskar Edvin Johnson

   Another name for Per was Edwin Johnson.

  Research Notes:

As indicated, Per Oskar was known in the US as Edwin Johnson. He was a father in Frankfort Twp, Pepin Co, WI. It is not clear why he went to Pepin Co WI. In this area, there were a number of Swedish emigrants, but I have not found any other family connection.

Edwin Johnson died in 1944. He was married and had one daughter, Inez. It does not appear that she was married or had any children.

His relationship to me is distant, but he is by half-5th cousin twice removed. His ancestors were early settlers in thev Östmark parish in Värmland, Sweden. See my note under his grandmother's research page, Annicka Ersdotter [Tenheniun], 1829-1892
