Research Notes:
In Mar 2014 I had an email from Pat Boe, another family researcher that had been in contact with John Oberg.
She sent me some scanned pages from an unpublished manuscript written by Jake Langsjoen [Jacob Paul] and written sometime in the 1950s. Eventually I received 9 pages of the manuscript - with this and other information I summarized a document, "Langsjoen family compilation, 6 Apr 2016". The pages of the manuscript and the document are currently under Grue Family Tree...Prestlien....Prestlien's [6 Jul 2023] .... as a series of jpegs
Jake's manuscript
