When Mary Anna, my grandmother, came to
America she changed her name to Mary
Carlson. She had a brother, Victor and a sister, Tilda. Their names were all
Carlson when they lived in the United States. She first married Isaac
Norbeck and had two boys, Theodore and Edward. He died and she married my grandfather,
Erick Erickson. They had one son, my father, Everett
Erickson. She died in Warren,
Oregon U.S.A. in 1953.
