I am interested in the Johnson family in this picture. Is this the Job Johnson family? The reason I ask, is because I have been on FamilySearch and my husband’s Johnson family seems to be descended from this family. After looking at this photo, I might be wrong, but there are people in this picture who look like my husband’s son and my husband, so I am extremely interested in finding more information. I have been searching for years, trying to find information on my husband, Travis Johnson’s family, so my daughters will have that information. I have a complete family history for my family, but finding this family has been extremely difficult, and I am still not sure this is his family. If I could get him to take a DNA test, that would be the way to go, and if this doesn’t pan out, I guess I will be forced to try to persuade him to take the test. I would appreciate any feedback that I can get on this. Thank you for your time in reading this post.
