Surnames: Magnusen, Mogensen, Madison
I am looking for the family of Carl Magnusen. He came to the US (Iowa). When I check the Danish 1870 census, I find Carl's wife Jensine Christine Andersdatter living with her father, Anders Jensen, along with her children Mathilde Mogensen & Anders Valdemar Mogensen. My records don't show the name Mogensen but Magnusen. Is this a mistake on the census or does anyone have any info. Jensine came to the Iowa in 1872 where she came to live with her husband Carl. Carl: b. 29 Dec.,1832 d.1902 Jensine: b. 1845 d.1917. My grandmother Matilda was born in Iowa in 1873. Their name was changed to Madison when they arrived. Please help.Thanks
