Thank you so much for that info. I hoped that someone else from this family would eventually find me and give me some info. I tried to track Paulines brothers and sisters to see if Carrie was with them but no avail. What do you know about Christopher, and why he was in Colo. Do you have photos or anything of interest to me? I don't have alot of info, except Esther died in 1942 of Tuberculosis. I have Lloyds and Myrtle's deaths and I may have Fayes. You knew that Harley, Paulines husband died of Typhoid Fever, I hope. They are buried close to my home town in Western Nebraska. My mother Fyrne is still living, she is 84 now. I have 2 aunts and an uncle still alive. Most anxious to hear from you. Terri

You two might want to have a personal conversation about family, since you are discussing some that are still alive. Just click on the other person's name and you will get to their profile. From there, you can send a short e-mail. Once the other person answers, you will have each others e-mail addresses.

It's always fun to see family members find each other.

Good luck!

I believe my great-great grandfather was a brother to Christopher. I have a letter from my grandfather in which he states his father, Martin, immigrated to the US from Trondheim with his 4 brothers-Peter, Chris, John, and Gustaf. Their father, Johan, was a fisherman in Trondheim, and was broken-hearted when all his sons emigrated at one time. Martin was about 20 and come directly to Omaha, NE. Initially he entered the dairy business, but then switched to retail. He died in 1916. I would be interested in hearing any information that you've gotten about the family. Thanks. Tom Wiig.
