Hello! I'm new to this list and am hoping to trace some lost cousins who were born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.

My family is:

Tellef Severin Olsen (b. 1884, Aust-Agder, Norway) and Kirsten Aanonsen (b. 1889, Aust-Agder, Norway) -- they came and went from Norway to Brooklyn a few times, but had settled in Brooklyn by the mid-1910s.

Their children were: Haakon, Aanon, Signe, Ole Kristian (Chris), Asta (Esther), Henry, and Walter, born between 1907-1923. The cousins I am looking for would be the children and grandchildren of these Olsens. (I am the granddaughter of Esther.)

Aanon's children were Lawrence William and Roger Allan; Ole Kristian's children were Jacqueline Renee and Charles Victor; Walter's children were Richard Arthur, Gloria Jean, and Johnny Ray.

I am not looking for research help, just hoping that this message might be seen by one of these cousins. (A long shot, I know.) If this combination of names rings a bell with anyone, please let me know.

Erica
