Christina Johnson

  Research Notes:

information from: Eggen Clark 1 FT, on ancestry
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/100825750/person/180107287751/facts
and Tammy Johnson FT
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/60113092/person/140181713484/facts

- there are a number of other FTs on Ancestry, but most only record names, some dates.


1. NOTE: there is a lot of missing information on most members of Christina's family. The information from the Ancestry Family Trees are not consistent nor can I find collaborating evidence. For example, Christina's date of death - some record 1927, before 1930, 1947, 1948. Death dates for the children are not known or if a FT records a date, it can't be verified.

One of the major problems is the relative generic family surname. There are likely thousands of people born with the "Peterson" surname, so it is almost impossible to verify if you don't have any collaborating evidence. More research will be needed at some point.
