Hello
I am new here, and I need help!
It seems I have hit a major road block looking up information on my fathers fathers side of the tree.
here is what I have so far.
GF Hatheway Olaf Johnson born in Saint John county of St. John NB on Oct 16.1903
Father James W Johnson born 1884 unknown where
Mother Violet Loretta Johnson (Gay after she remarried) unknow birth
It is said that Grampy has a brother Cecil older than him.
The family is really sketchy on details, it is said that James was a labourer on ships.
I do know that the family did come from Christina (now Olso)
That is as far as I can get, cannot find any info on either side of the family after that.
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction, or suggest a book for me to purchase on the emigration history.
any help would be great, feel free to send me direct email if you want to brazeaut@sympatico.ca

You need to get as much info as you can in Canada first. Copies of death, marriage, birth records, obituraries, census info. Here is a Canadian site that might help Click Here.
This Site Click Here has lots of information on researching Norwegian ancestor
