Frank Jackson and brother Jim Jackson

Frank Jackson and brother Jim Jackson

Classification: Query
Surnames: Jackson
This family emigrated from Sweden in 1886. Frank was in the US Army from 1892-97, being discharged as a Sergent. Frank went to Dawson in 1897. Then, he and Jim operated trading posts at LaPierre House and Old Crow, Yukon Territory, from 1922-1935. Frank died of heart trouble in Fort Yukon July 4, 1934. I can find no family information going back in time. Both Frank and Jim never married (as far as I can discover.) I would like parent or sibling information if anyone can help me. Thank you so much!

Hi, You know that Frank JACKSON passed away in Fort YUKON - July 4 1934.
Registration of Death/ Long Form Death Certificate
Should show all personal information as required at the time - as known to the informant -
Registration may show names of Parents including maiden name of the mother if known to the Informant.

OBITUARY: Perhaps an Obituary had been Published
May show some personal information/history [some are just basic notice of death ] others quite informative - interesting.

Citizenship: USA - Have you sarched for Letter of Intent/Citizenship for the USA? That should show personal Information From State Archive where application was made - or from National Archive in Washington DC

US Army Records -1892-1897 - Application / Discharge - should show date and place of birth - names of parents etc.

Frank JACKSON - Jim JACKSON - may have made application for Canadian Naturalization.

US Census: 1890 -Census for Yukon - 1901 > may show other family members - if the brothers had married.

Cheers, Stella

Thank you for those links. Yes, those are my guys! I have some pictures of them along with other odds and ends of info - just hoping to learn more. I appreciate the links! How did you come across them? This is pretty obscure info!
Thanks again!
