This extensive family history and genealogy starts with the author’s parents, Ruth Christine Moe (1901-1975) and Levi Reuben Johnson (1893-1976), and extends backwards to identify as many of their ancestors on all family lines as possible. The ancestral family lines preserved on these pages extend back 350 years and are traced to three areas of Scandinavia: western Norway, eastern Norway and southern Sweden. The first volume of this four-volume set, Volume One, The Search for Ancestors: Introduction and Background to My Big Project plus Direct Descendants and Dozens of Cousins, is devoted to introductory and background material. The next three volumes reflect the family heritage from the three areas of Scandinavia: Volume Two, Grandma Josie’s Hardanger Heritage: Tracing the Western Norway Heritage of Ruth’s Mother; Volume Three, Hedmark Heritage of Grandpa Chris: Tracing the Eastern Norway Heritage of Ruth’s Father; and Volume Four, Family Lineages of Tiliander and Catherine in Skåne: Tracing the Ancestry of Levi’s Parents from Southern Sweden. These volumes identify more than a thousand direct ancestors and their children going back over several centuries. Maps, family charts and numerous photographs enhance the text.
