| Looking to find where Einar J Ferro was born in Norway on 9th of november 1921? he died 24 october 1987 in the USA. Mother was Ruth Ferro,I was told that Ferro is the Americanized name,and that they came from a island outside Oslo that sounded like their lastname before it was Americanized so maybee a island with the name F. |
