Hello, I`m looking for my family in the US. There was a girl, named Julie from Vivestad, Vestfold in Norway who went to the US, there she met a man named Olav/Olaf Taralson who was also from Vivestad in Norway. They got two daughters, named Evelyn and Grace. Grace married in Liverpool, thats all i know about her. And Evelyn married a man named Jo, and got one daughter named Andrea Paterson/Peterson. Please let me know if you know anything about these people! Thanks =)

Without more information to identify these persons you will probably have a VERY difficult time finding anyone who can recognize them.

The 1920 US census shows a family headed by Olaf Taraldsen, 31 yrs old (b. ca. 1889 Norway), immigrated to US 1908, became naturalized US citizen in 1913 and employed in 1920 as a tug boat engineer. Wife - Julia, 29 yrs old (b. ca. 1891 Norway), immigrated to US in 1911. This census page was completed in the first week of January in 1920 - the daughter Evelyn is listed as 4 yrs 5 months old, and daughter Grace is listed as 1 year 3 months old, both born in New York. They are living at #463 57th Street in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York in January 1920.

Someone else lists no identifying dates for a possible match -

Thank you so much for your answer!!
I`m not sure but I think they changed name to Haraldsen? I`m looking for Evelyn`s daughter, Andrea, but I don`t know her last name.....
