https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/23293571/person/13940526335/facts
- has information on the John Johnsen Grue [1858-1940] and descendants, BUT does not connect to John's father John Thoresen Grue [1813-1894] or any other Grue families

Andersen Family Tree [steve andersen]; last access 20 Nov 1922
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/16194559/person/1981606615/facts [link to Dorothy Rydeen]
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/16194559/person/398420824/facts [links to Louise Grue, mother of Ethel Anderson-Brown]

Grue/Rydeen FT [jmgrue1]; last access 21 Nov 1922; note: she has another FT, 'Janovich/Matthews/Zakaras/Jusevich' BUT similiar mistakes
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/104815667/person/350126601074/facts [links to Melvin Grue, b 1903]
- Melvin's wife, Dorothy ...Rydeen and then Dorothy's other husbands [Peder Grue and Edwin Grue]
BUT has lots of incorrect information, starting with children of Thore Jonsen Grue [1778-1835] and then children of John T Grue [1813-1903]
Note: the same for another FT [Guymon FT, steveguy46; at least one error is the parents of Peter Grue, 1895-1945 who had married Dorothy Rydeen ..]

Pitkanen FT, [Rachel Pitkanen]; accessed 21 Nov 2022
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/167060650/person/282172589842/facts
- the above link is to Marie Grue [1901+1986] who had married Louis Tollefson; Marie was a daughter to Claus and Sophia Oline Grue
- descends from Marie's daughter, Alice Mildred [1929-2010] who had married Warren Calvin Gubrud [1928-2012]

Shana Grue FT, [Shana Grue]; accessed 21 Nov 2022
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/105829197/person/250046667246/facts [link to Melvin Grue]
- Melvin Grue is her grandfather; her father is 'private',
- And an interesting part of this FT is that it goes back to Nils Evensen Søndmør, 1786-1819 ... I haven't reviewed that information in any detail.
