This is a basic pedigree chart for the information that I currently have for the Gustafson family branch. As I discover more I'll update this to reflect that.

I think that the Gustafson family listed on this page at the bottom are my relatives. The location, names, and dates, match with my great grandfather shown here as Charley (b. Sept 1883). This would make my great great grandparents John F. Gustafson (b. Mar 1845, Sweden) and Matilda C. (b. Mar 1856, Sweden).

This shows the name as Glenn with two "n"s. Also the mother's name is listed as Dora. Birthplace listed at Stratford, Iowa and April 9, 1913 which is consistent with other sources.

Here is the Birth Certificate for Glen Charley Laverne Gustafson born April 9, 1913. He was my paternal Grandfather.

Of note for me is the name of my great grandparents: Charley Edwin Gustafson (b. circa 1883, Marion Township, Iowa) and Dorena Esther Gabrielson (b circa 1886, Boone County, Iowa). This was filed in December when the birth was in April.

I have tested my DNA with Family Tree DNA and below are the results. The results are also listed on y Search and mito Search. If any of your information matches mine, please feel free to contact me.

I'm currently working on the GUSTAFSON genealogy and looking for more family. I'm going to make a section on this website for the research that is already done for the family.

I'm looking for descendants of the following individuals:

• Gary Rae GUSTAFSON, Born 7 Oct 1938 Des Moines, Iowa
• Glen Charley Laverne GUSTAFSON, Born 9 Apr 1913 Iowa, Died 29 Jul 1989
• Charley Edwin GUSTAFSON, Born ca 1883 Iowa

If you know anyone connected to these individuals please contact me through this website.
