She emigrated in 1867 from Krov, Germany(Prussia). I don't know anything else about her really but thought you might like to know. 2000-12-07 08:23:09Z http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.francen/1.2/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.francen/1/mb.ashx My Grandfather migrated from Sweden along with his mother and an older brother about 1889. He was born Feb.7.1872. They settled at Gailsberg, ill in a swedish community. His name was Charles Edward Francen. He met and married Ida Johnson while in Ill. They came to Oklahoma around the turn of the century. While He and his mother were going through immigrations their names were interpreted Francen. The other boy got his as Franson, or Fransen he had two sons, Harold and Walter that I heard of. He could have had other children. Would like to hear from any who think we might be distant relatives.
