George and Anna Jensen

George and Anna had four children, Clara (1915 - 2001), a stillborn baby girl (1917), Carl Raymond (1918 - 1996), and Robert Paul (1924 - 1994).

Raymond was my father. He was born in Shell Lake, Wisconsin, where they had moved (after the loss of their baby?) to try their hand at farming. He was christened Carl Raymond, but by the time he started school they were calling him Ray (perhaps to avoid confusion with Uncle Carl). The farming venture did not work out, and the family returned to Minneapolis by the time Dad was about 3 or 4.

Here are a few pictures to start. Please send comments!

Clara married Donald Stout and they had one son, George. George married Cheryl and they have one son, Brady.

Ray married Priscilla Lohman (1919 - 2005). They had eight children:
Barbara (1943), Mark (1945), Steven (1947), Grant (1949), Scott (1951), Todd (1952), Margaret (1954) and Jane (1961).

Bob married Evelyn (Evie) Sorenson and they had five children:
Gail (1952), Diane (1956), Lori (1957), Brian (1959) and Karen (1962).

More later....
