Please give more information, none of us can be expected to know who the sisters are when only names are given, dates, where in Norway did they live, etc must be given.

A little summary of the research:

Agnes Olsen married Elling Lande. They got married in Minnesota, USA, but they returned to Norway. A family tree was posted in your other thread. It says Agnes died in 1968; the tree lists her children as Aslaug Regine, Lilly Petrine Sofie, Rigmor, and Elling.

Hariet Vilhelmine Olsen married Johan Anderssen. They lived in Norway as of 1910.

What makes you think either Agnes or Harriet went to Seattle? Did she live there, or did she just go for a visit?

yes Emil Olsen is correct and those are all his brother and sister. he was my mom dad. They were shocked to see he had brothers and sister. My mom is Shirley Webber and Evelyn Spelrem they are Emil daughters. My mom lives in Surrey B.C. and Evelyn lives in Ponoka Alberta. But she isn't well. I have heard their is a large group of norwegian in Seattle area. I was just wondering if any them are related.
