{geni:about_me} '''Johan Collett''' of Oslo was born at Trondhjema on 22.11.1874 and was the oldest of the ten children of Albert Peter Severin Collett and Nanna Hoegh. At the age of twenty-one he took over the running of the family company business of Albert Collett when his father died in 1896. The Norway census in 1910 included an entry for Johan Collett who was born on 22nd November 1874, as residing at Observatoriegate 2b in Christiania, but not with any of his family living there with him. It would therefore appear that he was divorced from his first wife by then, and she most likely had their two children living with her. Johan was married three times; the first time to(1) Ellen Eger who was born on 23.04.1882 with whom he had two daughters. Ellen, from whom he was divorced, died in 1966. He then married (2) Kathleen Falsen who was born on 04.04.1894 and with whom he had a further three daughters.
Kathleen, from whom Johan was also divorced, died on 15.08.1971. He then finally married (3) Rosa Louise Martens who was born on 27.11.1902 and with whom he had another daughter. Johan died on 02.06.1969 and Rosa Louise Collettnee Martens died on 13.01.1994.
