Jone Pederson, b. 11. aug 1853 at the Byrkja farm, Aardal, Hjelmeland, Rogaland, Norway, emi 1872, married twice: 1. Hanna Johnson Berkland, b. Ca 1862 in Norway, perhaps died before 1900. 2. Ingeborg "Isabelle", b. Ca. Sept 1860 in Norway. Jone did use name John P. Burke in America. He died 30 june 1925 in Des Moines.
Peter become the father of Peter 1885-1906 and Anna 1892-1910. Probably Hannah was their mother.
I'm looking for the cemetery, perhaps in Wright county, where the family are burried.
Anyone knows the birthdates and place of birth for his 2 wifes! When and where did they die, probably in Iowa.
Thank you!

Thank you very much, indeed!
Then I think Hanna Berke ca 1862-1887 must have been burried in Illinois somewhere. I think she was the Berkland?
I did find Ingeborg "Isabell" Askildson born at the Bryningsland farm, Helleland, Rogaland, Norway.

Hannah/Johanna was a Johnson, who according to the church marriage record was born about 1867. I'm fairly sure she is buried in the Pontiac or Rooks Township area in Livingston County, Illinois. Her father was listed as G. Johnson, and mother of Julia. No idea what the G. stood for.Isabell Askildson was the family that adopted the Berkland/Birkland surname in America.
Meant to tell you, John P Burke and Isabell traveled to Stavanger in 1923 to visit. They left NY on May 8, 1923 for Stavanger. They arrived back in NY on 25 Sep 1923 on board the Stavangerfjord sailing from Stavanger to NY City.
