If this is the case, Gudmund Olsen, Asbjørn Kaver Olson, Karen Olsdatter, and Odine Olsdatter, would have been a second wave of the family to immigrate to America, fora total of 9 individuals who made the journey. This makes since as, despite Gudmund only having my Grandfather and his sister as children, those who came in the first or second wave may have had boys to pass on the Olsen name, and maybe how the person who was interviewed in the recording the San Francisco Maritime Museum has. I will have to work on tracing these family members who migrated to America, and their genealogy in America. I joined a few genealogy sites and had I not, I might not have discovered so much of my family tree. Thanks to anyone maintaining the family tree and doing any research. I am trying to find out if there is a Geni page for Gudmund's son, Ernest Olsen and his sister
Ernest Dickinson, Oakland California which is across the bay from San Francisco.
Have a good weekend everyone.
