I am looking for information about Emma Hilda Elvera
Hansen who's married name was
Carlson.
I have been told by a family member that Emma inherited land from her family in the
Potter,
Nebraska.
The problem is did she inherit land from her Biological Family or was it from her foster parents Charles/Carl and Anna
Hagerstrom? I have seen Carl's obituary and nowhere does it mention that he owns land near
Potter Nebraska and bequests it to Emma. As for Emma's mother she died in 1881 from complications of child birth and her brother John died a few months later. Emma's father died in 1914 but he suffered a head injury in 1881 and was hospitalized and was never able to take care of her and later died in a
Nebraska instituation. It is unknown if Ever
Hansen had any land but it is doubtful that he would have obtained anything during his lifetime. The only other option is that Emma had grandparents that left her something.
According to Ever and Minney's marriage license Ever's parents were
Hans Mikkelsen and Harie
Hansen.
Minney's parents names were John Jergsen and and Mary
Johnsen. Supposedly my Grandmother Emma inherited this land around 1906 -1910.
Are any of these names familiar to anyone in the
Potter,
Nebraska area?
As for the land, my relative stated that it was sold and so I know that this is a closed book. I am merely trying to put together wether or not this information is correct of if my family member's story was a fabriciation of a tale that someone made up.
Any help anyone could give me is appreciated.
