Birth Family

In 1900 and 1910, Camilla and her birth family were residing in Pohocco Precinct, Saunders, Nebraska. With them in 1900 was her grandmother, Annie Thompson. By 1920, all children had left the family home and Camilla's parents; Carl and Elsie; had relocated to Fremont and were the sole occupants of their residence.
Interesting to note is that the 1900 census indicates that Carl Christia's father, Jens, was born at sea. The 1900 census also indicates that Elsie was the mother of 4 children with all four still living at that time.
