My maternal ggf was either Oliver/Olaf/Nelson (?) Sjoberg (not sure of variations). Family tradition is that he immigrated to Canada from Scandinavia, then moved to South Dakota (maybe North Dakota?) married Glendora aka Glennie Watson. They had two daughters - Alice Mable (my gm) and Lydia. Alice married a John or Jack R. Williams and moved to Washington State. Jack was a miner. He left Alice shortly after my aunt was born. My Dad never talked about him. He was very hurt and angry.
Does anybody have any information based on these very general facts? My Dad's name was Donald J. Williams and my aunt was Agnes.
