Borge, Knut, Jan...............desperately need your help. There is of course a Moss family-history site, but unless I,m sure that Axel was never buried near Moss theres no point in joining it. Can anyone tell me that he was never buried there.
thanks jim |

Hello
This is my first look I'm looking for my family in Norway I know My g grand father was born in Balestrand
his name was Truls Hermundsen Mael have never seen a name like that for a Norweigen
he was baptised 3/27/1796 in Sogndal, Balestrand norway is the mael name still in use and
where it this area. My grandfather was from Bergen and I do know some of the family there well I will
when we visit this summer. His Name is Haldor Kvamme came to the US in 1914 or so that we have more on but would like to know more on the Mael side.

| Hi, I am researching a man by the name of Axel Johansen who washed ashore in the USA sometime prior to 1902. He is listed as Norwegian sea captain/ He was rescued by the daughter of a keeper and ended up marrying her. He stayed in the USA and became the keeper of a House of Refuge. It may be the same person you are looking for. Let me know if this is who you are looking for. |

If you are just starting your research, you may not know that sometimes stories have a kernal of truth and are changed a little through time - This man might have been remembered as a sea captain, when in actuallity he may have had some other title. I have found issues like this with my own family - I would look into it if I were you.
Good Luck! |

Thanks jim ht for the advice. I have many sources that say Axel Johansen was a shipwreck victim in the late 1880's. Its a really neat story about the woman who saved him. He returned to Norway for a couple years, then moved back the US. Any advice on how to find his relatives in Norway? Thanks for your help.

Hi again P.OH, the best thing to do is to look at the bottom of this page and start a new topic where your individual question may be answered. People are looking at this link and remembering that they have nothing to add, so they will ignore it.
whereas, when they see your topic, you never know, you might strike lucky! Having said that, keep in touch, and the best of luck
