• Notes

  Minnie states in the 1920 census that both of her parents were born inHolstein, Germany. Her father, Claus, was living with the family atthat time so this is probably very true. Minnie's mother had diedprevious to the 1920 census. Holstein is in the North of Germany very near Norway, and from thehistory of the area. Holstein, Germany was at one time part ofNorway.
