I am looking for DOB and DOD for my great grandparents. I have received much information from this forum and I am grateful. I don't recall getting this information before.

My grandfather Emil Jacobsen's parents, were Jacob Jakobsen and Karen Johnsdatter. They were married 11-8-1880. It appears that Jacob was born in Ski and Karen was born in Fet. Don't know where those places are. My grandfather Emil grew up in Lillestrom area (Akershus, Skedsmo?).

My grandmother Dagny Halvorsen's parents were Halvor Kristiansen Spikseth and Oline Larsen. They were both born in Sondre Odalen Hed. They lived in Skedsmo municipality when my grandmother was growing up.

Thank you.



Susan Jacobsen
