Hoaken was my grandfather.He passed away in 1975.He and my late grandmother, Astrid (Esther), lived in various places, last settling in Merrifield, MN.They had three children - Eileen (Reinen) Svendsen, John Svendsen, and my father, Daniel Svendsen.Eileen married Paul Reinen and lived in Sun Prairie, WI and had eight children.John (Jack) married Glenda Strange.They lived in Forest Lake, MN.Eileen and Jack both passed away this last decade.My father is the last living son of Hoaken.He lives in Cloquet, MN and I live in Duluth, MN.
My mother has done extensive work in this area and would likely be of a lot of help in this line of descendants.
