There was a family named Erlandson who lived in the vicinity of Manistee, Michigan from at least the 1950's through the 1970's. Mr. Erlandson died in the late 1940's or early 1950's. "Tillie," his wife, lived until the 1970's. She was previously married to a Mr. Johnson, and had children by both spouses. Thus, there were half-siblings whose surnames were Johnson and Erlandson.
