Hello--I found two young men listed in the following on the Digitalarkivet:
1) Loddtrekningsliste for Bergen ca. 1860-1890
Kristen Magnus Meyer
birth place: Laxevaag
Age: 1860 0605
Page: 9 Rulle 2

2)Militaer loddtrekningsliste for Bergen ca. 1850-75
Henrik M. Meyer
Birth place: K.K.S.
Age: 1847 2710
Page: 390 Rulle 1

These two young men were brothers of my husband's great grandmother. I think these two young men died at sea, but do not know for sure. I tried to e-mail the National Archives in Bergen but the transmission failed. How can I find out what is in these two Rulles? Also, how can I find out what ships these two young men were on?

Thank you
Tonia Nielsen

The marker is on the house they lived in when Henrik was born:

You can see the roof of the church a little below to the left if you zoom in ...

Recommend you "write" to the National Archives in Bergen.
