Because we really did not know what Ada's name was - for sure - we seached in vain for her death certificate for years. Finally - my sister Leanne found her listed alphabetically under "M" for Mrs. Go figure.

Dad said Ada and Andrew had two small boys in the early 1920s who died of spinal meningitis. It is believed that her husband died not many years after her. Uncle Leo also refers to this in one of his bios. "Sister Henny had married Andrew Forsberg and moved to the states where they all died. They had two sons."

Ada Forsberg crossed the border at Manitoba into the USA on April 24, 1922. 21 years old. / clf
