Uncle John's Family

I spoke this week with John and Elsie's grandson Grant Jensen! He confirmed much of what I knew, and added to my information as well.

John and Elsie had five children.

Inger married a man named Fritz Weber and they had one daughter named Jean.

Holger Renald (1913 - 2001) married Grace Fulton. They had three sons - Larry (1940), Wayne (1944) and Grant (1947). Grace and her sons live in the Twin Cities.

Erling ("Al") George (1915 - 2004) married Marjorie Martin (1921 - 1987). They had eight children:
Marlene (1941), Marjorie (1942), Howard (1945), John (1946), Linda (1949), Debra (1954), Cynthia (1958) and Nancy (1961).

Dagny (1917 - 1999) married Wallace Opitz (1916 - 1958). They had no children.

Hartel T (1924 - 1999) married a woman named Inez. They also had no children.

If anyone can correct any of my information, please contact me at olekids@charter.net.

I am looking forward to meeting some of these Jensens! Grant and I talked about the idea of having a Jensen family picnic some time next summer. If you are reading this and would be interested in such an event, please email me.
