Hello!
I am new here, but not in genealogy. Living in Finland.
I am searching data about my grandfather's elder brother's wife.

Everything I know till now about her is this:
Her name was Anna Olsen, she was from Bergen and she married Rafael Brandt from Finland (he emigrated in 1909), but I don't know if the marriage took place in Norway or already in U.S.A.
She lived in Brooklyn, New York (550/49th Street in 1919) with her husband and they got three sons: Ralph, John and Henry (Hank). Henry William Brandt (wife: Doris) visited us in Finland in the '80s. He told us that they had met 25 cousins in Bergen. Henry died in 1986.
I would be immensely glad, when somebody would help me in this. I have been searching for years. My goal is to find my lost relatives in U.S.A.
