Swan Lars Johnson

  Research Notes:

NOTE: Swan L Johnson had 11 children, and each was married with children. I have recorded the names of each of his children, along with their spouses. However, I not recorded each child's children. See each child's research notes for additional information on Swan's child, their spouse and their children and in some cases their grandchildren.

For the most part I have used the "Johnson Family Tree" [Tammy Johnson] as the starting point for reseaching, but did add other Family Trees and other information. The North Crow River Lutheran Church Records were also used as starting points.
