I am looking for anyone related to a Carl George Bergh. He was born in March of 1861 and came to the USA in 1880. It is believed that he came from either Oslo or Bergen. He had a brother named Thomas Bergh born in Jan. of 1867.
Looking for any information on Carl George Bergh or his Brother Thomas. Carl was born in March 1861 in or near Oslo Norway. He came to the USA in 1880. And died in 1935 in Allegan,Michigan. USA. |

A possibility for Thomas in the 1910 census
BERGH THORWAL S 45 M W NORW CO DENVER 7-PCT 1910 Thomas could be an Americanization of Thorwal. Living with him is his mother Georgiana, 85 years old.
George is in Michigan in the 1910 census, he is in his 2nd marriage to Ida, age 44 with 2 step children.
To find information in Norway you need to know their patronym (fathers 1st name). Have you gotten copies of marriage, birth or death certificates? The Illinois death database,Click Here has an Olaf that could be George's brother.
