I am researching my family tree and have reached an road block. Looking for anyone with information on the following:

Jens Eilerson and wife Ellen M who immigrated from Denmark to Michigan in the late 1880's. Jens was born abt 1860 and Ellen M abt 1864. Upon arriving in Michigan they lived in Grayling, Michigan and gave birth to daughter Signe. Signe is my Great-Grandmother.

Any and all information is appreciated.

What is your specific question? "Any and all information" is too vague and your replies will probably provide information you already have.


The 1930 U.S. Federal Census shows this Signe whose mother was Ellen Eilerson. Signe was born in Michigan. Ellen was born in Denmark. According to this census, Signe's father was born in Sweden, but he had died by this time. It looks as if Signe might have been married previously since there is a daughter Ellen M. Rasmussen in the household.

More can be seen on the actual census record.

I haven't been able to quickly find this family in the 1900 census. I need to stop now. It is long past lunchtime.
