Gregg Westling Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 In America the family went by the surname Rye and in one of the links below John appears as John R. Rye. That was why I was searching for a Johan Rasmussen from a farm “Rye”. Most record of John/Johan agree on birth about 1856 and immigrant about 1882. His wife’s name is another problem. She appears as Oline/Olina/Lena/Lina. Some of their childrens Minnesota Death Records list her surname as Johnson which is probably Amerikanized. She was born in Norway about 1860/61 and seemed to have immigrated about 1881. It seems that most of the immigration records for NY from 1880-1900 were destroyed by a fire. This is the John I am searching: https://familysearch...2ND/p_504488346 https://familysearch...7QR/p_108180380 https://familysearch...-4H4/p_26963315 Here is one that shows his fathers name is listed as John Rye, I’m not convince as to the accuracy of the surname. https://familysearch...1.2/M6LZ-FNG/p1 I’ve attached a copy of his Naturalization Paper where his name is shown as John Rasmussen.
