- has a photo of John C Grues' wife, Myrtle Grue
- Signe's information is not complete - she married to Anton J Johnson, but his death as 1961 which is NOT Correct
Note: I had contact the owner on 28 May 2016, but not receive a response

link to Claus Grue, https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/47621311/person/6862327882/facts
- I thought that this FT may be linked to a cousin, John Oberg who I had connected with regarding Oliver Olson and some of his family around 2010, but I haven't found the connection ... Oliver Olson's daughter was Esther Ovida Olson, 1888-1968 and she was married to Gustav F Oberg, 1891-1974, but these people are not in this FT.
- This FT includes basic data on the Claus J Grue family but again I'm not sure of connection of the owner of this FT and Claus Grue
