This is my first post - so I'm a little nervous.
I wanted to comment because my great grandmother's maiden name was Wiik and Elbie was her sister. My great grandmother emigrated from Aalesund and married John (Johan) Korsnes, and the Korsnes daughters and son were Elbies cousins. Most of them ended up in Seattle - which is where I am located.

First - you'll have better results if you start a NEW topic with a clear and distinctive header/title.

Second - list all the information about any specific Norwegian emigrants that you wish to track and be sure and be clear about what information you are seeking.

We love a NEW challenge and await more information.
