Am looking for information on my fathers family. His name is Thelmar Sophus Langager Sr. His parents are Carl Langager born 1896 in South Dakota and Sarah Lenorah Matilda Thompson born 1899 in North Dakota. My father had a sister named Marjorie who married Morris Nelson and they had a daughter, Audrey Lee.
Any information or help would be greatly appreciated. |

Ok.
He is listed (at findagrave.com) as a son of Torkel Olai Kristensen and Tala Halvorsdtr. He could be a distant cousin of the people in this topic. Familysearch.org have many children of Torkel and Tala born in Ferkingstad, but not Christ. |

Now here are a Carl E Langager and his brother Christian Langager arriving in Canada. They are travelling to their brother in the US who is named Erik E Langager who has been in the US 5 yrs. ( My mistake, since they were one above the otherI and only one of them was given a last name, I assumed that they were brothers, probably not true.). Christian is going to his uncle? whose name is difficult to read but maybe Gunner Aftlander??

This Christ seems to again match that find of Jacike's. So do we have two Carl Langager's as well. Christ is a year older than Carl.
