Hello!

Im a 27 yea old boy who just bumped into this site! My grand-grand mother had a brother who moved to America with his wife. His name was Thorvald (Torkildsen) Ruste and his wife`s name was Helen! He was born in 1907: Can anyone help me find out more about them and if they have some more family over there today??

Thanks frm Olebjørn:)
