Hi,
Can SKS help trace Rasmus Rasmussen who married Anne Johanna Olsen in April 1893, maybe in Montana or Wyoming. They had children: Martin, Ole, Carl, Emma, Ann, Arthur Lars, Hertha, Ella, Martha, and Mary but none of the dates of birth are known.
Rasmus and Anne came from Denmark and probably settled in Iowa.
However, whatever combination I use and whichever census record I look at.... I draw a blank.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Hi:
It looks like they are on the 1910 Rockville, Sherman County, Nebraska census.
Rasmus Ramasen, age 41
Anna J, age 38
Martin G, age 16
Marie C, age 14
Ole S, age 10
Other children are listed. If you cannot view the census, we can provide additional details.

Hmmm. Not sure on this one - Family tree entry shows Rasmus Maurice Offer Rasmussen
Born17 Aug, 1869 in Fly, Denmark or Middlefert Fehr, Denmark and Died 16 Dec, 1950 in Farwell, Nebraska. And Anna Katherina Hansen - Born 5 Sep 1870 in Halk, Schlesvig, Denmark - Germany and died 18 Jun 1943 in Farwell, Nebraska. ???
Lisa's entry looks more like it - this family seems to keep the same names in 1920 ;) Will leave you to it Lisa. ;)

Hi Sandra. I'll send a pm to you later tonight. :) (I haven't written lately.)

At least several of the family members stayed in Rockville.

In 1920, you can find the family with Rasmes Rasmesen in Rockville.
