You must hold your horses!  Do you have ANY photos in your posession that looks similar to this man????
As I said, the archive says this man died in Sogndal, Norway. It seems your grandfather died in the U.S.? |

| The Evening Star newspaper published in District of Columbia on 23 Mar 1934, says Jens Stedje died the day before suffering a stroke in his apartment at the Burlington in Washington. The only survivor mentioned was his brother Johannes in Norway. |

Unfortunately we have no family photos of Jens. I do not think he person that died in Norway is my relative. I believe my relative is buried in the US in Arlington National Cemetery and doubt that his remains would have been shipped from Norway back to the US. I think the photo of the man included with his US Army medals is the Jens E. Stedje that is my great grandfather. |

I think this refers to my relative as the date of death on his tombstone in Arlington National Cemetery is Mar. 22, 1934. My next research project is to find information about his time with my great grandmother in the Philippines. I would love to find a photo of them together. Unfortunately during WWII Manila and Legazpi were heavily bombed and many records lost. |

Ancestryi.com transcribes him with the last name of his father and not the correct patronymic name of Ericksen. But the data seem match the Digitalarkivet data.
