From Singsaas to America

Masters Thesis

by

Jens Winsnes

I received today a document that is very special to me as it is the Masters Thesis written by a young man, and relative, who bears the name of my immigrant grandfather. Jens Winsnes describes his initial contact with me in the very first paragraph of the Preface of the document. The pride I feel for providing a spark that resulted in this research is incredible. I have only begun to read the document, but wanted to take a moment to put three images from the document on the web for relatives to see.

Preface:



Thanks Jens for your insightful research into the situations leading to the immigration of our ancestors. Your research will give us a wonderful and new insight into their reasons for immigration and I promise you, we will continue our research and documentation on the lives they begun in America!
