3 Sisters Meet After 50 Years Apart

Another incredible reunion story! I never get enough of these. Three sisters meet for the first time after 50 years apart.

A small quote from the Daily Mail website
  • From 1948-1965, a Minnesota mom gave up her four daughters 
  • None of them knew the others existed, but slowly found one another 
  • Now they are reunited with each other - and their biological mother
  • They say their story has hope for anyone who was abandoned or adopted

Could This Be Marie Olsen?

A gravestone with the name Marie Olsen and dates of birth and death (1879-1932) was recently found in St. Paul Minnesota. I read this story on Geneanet and CBSMinnesota and decided to have a quick hunt for Marie.

I found a possible candidate in Ancestry.com Minnesota Death Index, 1908-2002

Name: Mrs. Marie Andrew Olsen
Death Date: 21 Nov 1932
 Death County:  Ramsey

It's proving difficult to narrow down all the Marie Olsen results in Ancestry.com databases but I hope someone somewhere will know who Marie Olsen is and where her tombstone belongs.
