Unfortunately the databases on Inernett (Digitalarkivet) with emigrants from Oslo go only as far as 1930. Do you have your grandparents' names? What was your father's christian name? Do you yourself live in Norway or the States(thinking about what access you have to records before I try to give you some advice) ? . Greetings from snowy Moss. Margaret
