| I have found out that James Otto married Karoline Bertha Kramer in Chicago in 1900. The siblings may have used Olsen as well as Adersen/Anderson as surname. Hopefully James Otto and Karoline had children |

Census-1910 for Cook county, Illinois:
James O Anderson, 1870
Caroline B Anderson, 1881
Mildred H Anderson, 1894
Leonard W J Anderson, 1901
Census-1920 for Cook county, Illinois:
James O Anderson, 1870
Caroline B Anderson, 1881
Leonard J Anderson, 1902
Caroline is most likely not the mother to Mildred, since she was only 13 yo at that time...

By 1930 I think the parents of Leonard W J Anderson have moved to California. Looking at the original census the middle initial looks more like a O than a C.

This could be the California Death Certificate for Leonard J Anderson Senior You can search using Leonard Anderson, born in 1901 in Illinois. Mothers maiden name is listed as Kramer which fits your posting above.

| Peoul was born in USA, so he was unknown to us. I will try to get in contact with epauk so we might find living relatives. Thank you for good help. I am not a member at Ancestry, so I can not get all their information about the family. |
