Hi, Ronny & Dave ~

...

During the lunch break at Norsk Fest, I visited one of the cemeteries there (in Frankfort, Michigan) & took photos of Jeremy Jacobson's great-grandparents gravestones. Jeremy's great-grandfather was Anton August Thomasson Bodin (the father of Anthony J Bodine). After immigrating to Benzie County, Michigan, Anton August used his father's surname of Jacobson (& not Thomasson, nor Bodin). Anton August's brother, Jacob also adopted their father's Jacobson surname & lived there too. Anton & Jacob owned tug boats & I think that they also ran a fishing business (Lake Michigan). Today, there is still a marina there, now called Jacobson Marina Resort.
