- Memory Book of Mabel Bergitte Cline
- Mary Rykhus Family History
with Introduction by Richard Cline:
Roy Anderson has generously allowed us to copy his book Mary Rykhus into our family history. Mary Rykhus is the grandmother of Roy Anderson.Roy gives us a history of the Hanson family that immigrated from Norway to Minnesota. The book is an introduction to the family of my maternal grandmother.Names will be confusing as Norwegian naming patterns differ from common US patterns. Hans Nyhus and Berit Shelly had nine children. Hans son naturally leads to Hanson for sons. All of the children adopted the surname Hanson. Most of the family remained in Minnesota, near Mankato.
Mabel’s mother, Tillie Hanson Roning, is a sister to Mary Rykhus. Roy and I have common ancestors, Hans Nyhus and Berit Shelly, the great-grandparents of both of us. Roy is thus a second cousin.
Roy has authored two other books about family history. The research and dedication continue to be impressive.

Florence Hunt is my Aunt (Sister to my dad) She has a large family several of whom have compiled family trees. They all list Florence as born in Spokane. (strange location) This is an official document that she filled out. Her birth is Walla Walla, Very logical as that is where the parents lived.

Aunt Florence had ten children. The was a long timespan between Florence and Russel. Some of Florences children were older than dad. 
Emery and Hattie, my grandparents. I know little about Hattie but she sounds like an intelligent, hardworking woman. Emery was previously married to Lena Godlove, they had one child and divorced The story is more complicated.
