My grandfather's name was John Hagstad Johnson. His father went by James Johnson, but we believe he chose something Americans could pronounce. Jamess's sister, Ingeborg, sent a photo made by a Trondheim photographer. James was likely born in 1846. He named his other children Ida Johanna, James, and Albert Sidney. I think he might be the child of Johanna and Johann Mikkail Johnssen who are in the 1865 Trondheim census, living on Sandgate with 4 seamen sons and l daughter still at home. He showed up in Galveston about 1868 with a schooner and became a pilot for the Port of Galveston, and died at age 38.I am trying to find his family in Norway. Joyce Louis Does this connect with you in any way. Ingeborg in the family mentioned above married a Larintz Synnes (Jlouis1939@aol.com)
