JENSEN, MCGEE, OLSEN, OLSON, PETERSEN posted by on Thursday, March 9, 2000

My mother's aunt or great aunt was named Kitty MCGEE. She lived with her husband Frank MCGEE somewhere on Lakeshore Blvd., as my mom remembers. They would go out to visit them in the 1920's. I'd like to know exactly how they are related to me. Also, my grandfather John OLSEN or OLSON was a member of the Wickliffe Country Club, I believe, along with many of his Danish friends and relatives, including Peter JENSEN (Yensen?), Peter PETERSEN. I'd like to know if there are any records from this country club that could give me information about my grandfather. Thank you!
