I am looking for additional information on the Halvorsen Family. My Father, Arnt Olav Torgersen, was married to Gudrun Halvorsen in 1933 in Oslo. Gudrun died 8-27-1941 as a result of the sinking of the MS Segundo by a German U-Boat. Arnt & Gudrun left Norway after the 1940 invasion. They had no children. Arnt married my mother, Mary E Torgersen, in 1944 in Vernon Center, NY. I have Halvorsen family history that includes her mother & father, her 8 brothers & sisters and the parents of her mother & father. I would like to contact children and grandchildren of her brothers & sisters to obtain additional family history for the Family Tree I am working on through Geni. I would appreciate any help I can get from her family members on both forward and historical family information. Thank You. Eric Arnt Torgersen, New Castle, Pennsylvania.

Hi!

Possibly Gudrun Anna in 1910:

Looks like her father has died before 1910.
