I believe that we are related. My fathers name is Walter Jonnes and we live in Harrisburg South Dakota. The spelling of your name was Gjonnes as well before someone changed it. I beleive my grandfathers name was Ivan or Nels and his wife was Norma.
Does any of this ring a bell for you.
Thanks for your help
Donny J.

I believe we may are related. My mother Ardyce was the daughter of Mary Jonnes. Mary was the youngest child of Jens and Ingeborg and she was born on a farm ouside of Vermillion, South Dakota. In my mothers family papers she mentions an Auntie Tate which is Josephinas married name, I also have an obituary for Thomas Jonnes which was her uncle and the dates match up to what you have listed. I do not know where Jens was from in Norway only that his fathers name is Sevrest. I have also found that Jens last name changed in 1800's from Gjonnes to Jonnes.
