The Family Of

Anders FRED(E)RICKSON and Karen RASMUSSEN

I don’t know if the correct spelling is Fredrickson, Frederickson, or something different. The spellings seem to be used interchangeably on the different records I’ve seen while researching this family. Fredericksen, Frederiksen, and Fredricksen are other possible spellings.

Anders (Andrew) Fred(e)rickson and Karen Johanne Rasmussen raised their family in Denmark. I don’t know if either of them came to the United States.

If you are researching or connected to this family, I would love to hear from you.
