My father Sverre Antonious Hansen was born in1905 in the city of Arendal.
As a young men he migrated to USA where he passed away in Long Beach California.
I have never been to Norway but would love to in the future visit Arendal and perhaps meet some long lost relatives.
I'm looking for relatives that I can contact leaving in Arendal.
Email, address, facebook etc.etc.

Anton Emil Hansen born 17/6 1908 in Barbu parish, Arendal.

"Gravminner i Norge" shows that Anton Emil Hansen died 1962, and was buried in Barbu parish. Next to him is buried Gunvor Alice Hansen (1919-2005). She was probably his wife.
Skattelister (tax payer's list) 2001 shows that she had Saltrød as postal address.

Thank you so much for this great information.
How can I find out if my uncle Anton and his wife Gunvor had kids (my cousins)?
Again, I appreciate your help.
