I'm looking for my great grandfather and his brothers:
Johan Dahl Johansen born 1889
Hans Edvart Johansen born 1895
Hilmar Johansen born 1886

My grandmother was born in 1910 but sometime before or shortly afterwards, Papa Johan and his brothers went to North America. Apparently they are the 3 brothers found in the 1900 census for Hadsel. My grandmother is still alive. Various stories are around that one brother went to California, one to Washington state and maybe one even returned to Norway. (Also that one or more perished in WW1.)

I'm about to start sending away for death certs for some of the potential suspects. Any other suggestions? Any help MUCH appreciated. thanks!!

This is probably Hilmar:

Here is Johan:

Here is one Nicolay E. J. who could be connected to Hilmar and Johan in some way:

This could be your Hans Edvard:

Nicolay is probably not a brother of Johan, Hans and Hilmar:

Thank you so much! What a great start! I tried some searches in the digital Archives but with little success even though I can read some Norwegian. I hadn't thought that they could have gone to Canada. (where we live) I see their farm names there as well. And just yesterday I read here about the use of Farm names here at this site. Tusen Takk!
