Contact me privately ([email protected]).I have some information on the family as the result of a special cemetery project I'm working on.I might be able to help with some of the resources I have available to me.I'm not related to the Tjarden/Jarden family but did know one of George's grandsons and know that grandson's entire family.
I'm not sure if the younger generation knows that their grandfather changed the spelling in the 1930's.I know that I'll be seeing at least one of them on Sunday the 22nd and probably several of them the weekend of Oct 4/5/6.I can ask to see who might be more knowledgeable about the name change and why.
Also, my grandmother owned and operated a nursing home in Bunker Hill for 40 years.I've been trying to find the names of those who at any given time resided there.Recently I came across an obit for Alice Tjarden (1878-1969) who died at the nursing home.She was the wife of Richard Tjarden.Don't know how he is connected to the family but surely he was related to George.
