Susan,
I now see it's obvious you are descended from Mary Gaarde and her second husband, E. M. Thomsen.
As I said in previous posting, second husband of Mary Gaarde was Eskiel Marius Thomsen. They had a son Clarence Edward Thomsen, b. April 24, 1910 in Sioux City, Iowa. He died April 23, 1966 in Sioux City and is buried at Floyd Cemetery.
Clarence Thomsen's first wife was Doris. I have two daughters listed for them: Mary Margaret and Marlene. No dates or further info on them, but a note that says "two daughters were adopted by second husband and took the name of Krie, Coleridge, Nebr."
Second marriage of Clarence Thomsen was on Sept. 14, 1945 in Worthington, Minn., to Dorothy May Belshow. She was born Dec. 28, 1913 in Clinton, Mont. and in 1978 was living in Crown Point, Ind. Her mother's maiden name was Pelton.
Then I have as daughter of Clarence and Dorothy Belshow Thomsen: Susan Lynn, b. Dec. 30, 1947 in Gary, Indiana.
This is what I have on the Thomsen marriage of Mary Gaarde.
Have more info on descendants of her first marriage to Andrew Christensen.
Will be happy to share further with you. Correct any of the above Thomsen info that is incorrect.
Sara Gaarde
