Notes for James Peter Jensen
Thelma inherited her Haviland dishes from Fred's second cousin, Jim Jensen (wife Lena) in Watsonville before 1952 (when mom married). Lena died perhaps in 1949. Your grandfather Carl was a good friend of Jim and Lena, and Jim said that Thelma should get the dishes, so Carl packed them and brought them to Modesto. Mom said that Carl liked the older folks and had lots of older friends. She can't specifically remember how Jim Jensen and Fred are related other than they were second cousins (shared the same great-grandparent).811

All sources of data are documented on the “Person Sheet” for each individual. My early data often came from less-than-reliable sources (e.g., “Sarah’s genealogy pages”). If the only sources for a person is something like that or worse there is no listed source for data, please take the information as only a suggestion and not a fact.
