Thank you for earlier replies. conc.Bredsvold Family from Stange

Re Census Chicago Illinois
Is it possible for you to search for members of the above fam.
in US Census. All born in Norway, died in USA;
My Great grandparents and their children

Mathea Bredsvold 1830 - 1889
Kristen Bredsvold 1826 - 1902
Kristian Bredsvold 1861 - 1889
Sigurd Bredsvold 1863 - 1950
Marie Bredsvold 1872 - 1927
Paul Bredsvold 1868 - 1949 or 50
Bernt Bredsvold 1874
I have found their names (except from Bernt) in the deathrecords, but have no admittance to the US Census.


Sorry; I forgot to inform you that they emigrated to Chicago in
1886 and 1888.
I have found them in the Norwegian Census from 1865.

Regards Unn
