Hei, I am in trouble, the other day I came across an offer on Norway-L, of course it was an old one freom 2004.
The offer was a copy of a group photo of immigrants taken in 1902 on board a ship in Duluth ready to sail for Tofte, Mn. The orginal pic. was faund in a Commercial Fishing Museum in Tofte. The one who probably had taken a picture of it had all the names listed. I faund five of my grandfather's first cousin listed. That were Chris and Engel Tormundsen, also their two sisters, Cecelia and Synneve, these are all buried in Tofte Cemetery, also another cousin Hokon Sandvold.
Old or not, don't think I was able to get in touch due to not be a lister. My be some one know some one who know, I am worry the train is gone. Regards Magnar.
