On 30 Oct 1906, my grandmother's sister arrived in New York from Bergen, age 30. Her purpose was to marry her "vorlevende", Iver G. Iverson, then living in Brooklyn...probably a merchant sailor. He had emigrated from Bergen in 1900.
I understand there were quite a few Norwegians living in Brooklyn then. Does anyone know whether there might be parish records of marriages from that time in Brooklyn, such as one would find from parishes in Norway?
These folks raised my father, so they were grandparents of a sort to me, but not interested in talking of the past. |

In past years I saw discussions of the Norwegians and their churches in Brooklyn on the Norway-L mailing list through RootsWeb. Their archives of those discussions are open, free and searchable. Perhaps they will have talked about exactly what you want to know.

Of course you could also expect that marriages in that location and time would have been recorded by the City of New York, the borough of Brooklyn or the county. |

| Thanks for these very good sources. I found a record of their marriage at italiengen.org. They were married in Manhattan on 30 Oct 1906 -- the day she arrived from Norway. |
