Possible duplicate for my Great Grandfather
Not sure how to verify this one. John Delphin Olson LYV8-Y37 is my Great Grandfather, but have had very little success in searching for him. It is possible John Olson G83T-82C could be the same person. G83T-82C has a brother Carl, which matches. The brother Carl had a son named John Delphin Olson. G83T-82C birth date is lasted 1869, LYV8-Y37 has a birthdate of 1861 which matches US Cencus records 1910 with immigration from Sweden 1887. To addd to the confusion, the 1910 Cencus shows two John and Hilma Olsons in the same area. My great grandparents have a child in this record, Mabel I.

@Cheryl Fletcher Took a quick look and I don't think they are the same person. I didn't see any 'Carl' that you mention which puzzles me… I might have overlooked

I am searching for my maternal ggrandfather. John Delphin Olson, born 1857, emigration from Sweden 1881. As family tradition, I am descended from his second wife Hilma Christina Andersson born 1871 emigration from Sweden 1892. John is quite a mystery, we do not have his place of birth, marriage records of either marriage or solid death record. He does appear in the 1900, 1905 and 1910 Minnesota census with wife Hilma, daughters Lilly and Mabel. After the death of his first wife, his children were placed in an orphanage, some time later he attempted to get them back, but they had been adopted out, as family tradition goes, he never got over the loss of these children. Unfortunately, we do not have the name of the wife or children or even how many children. Family history also has him a pinkerton detective. He had a bullet wound scar on his chest he he would not talk about with my grandmother Mabel. It would be good to break the brick wall that is John Delphin Olson.0 -
You have copied and pasted @Cheryl Fletcher 's own Profile Summary from WikiTree to here. Cheryl is the author both of this post and the summary that you 'googled'
EQUALS >
So, Cheryl probably has all of the information from that WikiTree page.
