Eddie Monroe Johnson and Eva Majeane Johnson were brother and sister to one another and married into both sides of my family.
Ed Johnson married my mother's mother, my grandmother Sadie Hollaway Kirkland and his sister Eva married my Dad's father, Pete Christenson. Their father, Bernt Johanson Egeberg, Bernt Johnson,was also the half brother of my Dad's mother.

Now aren't you confused? And people wonder why I feel that way once in awhile. See the Egeberg Chart to sort it out.
