It was at the Norwegian National Library site but I have the wrong IP address to see the image all I can get is the OCR read |

So a scenario would be
Oddvin Eikeland b 1923 arrived in New York in 1955. He died in 1980 in Sacramento County, California.
In 1959 his wife? Unni Hennei Eikeland accompanied by two children ? Odd Willy Eikeland and Håkon Eikeland also arrived in New York. All three listed as Norwegian and from Kristiansand.
In 1976 Odd Willy Eikeland married Evelyn Alequin in Staten Island New York.
The had two children
Willy Matthew Eikeland born 1984 in Sacramento County, California

lyndal40- thank you so much. Now I think I have the information needed to search here in Norway. Some sources could give some answers.
ToreL-This is a tricky situation. I'm helping a friend to find out if there is a connection to this family, so I couldn't just get in contact. |

No, very little information on the record. However there is a record for a Willy Eikeland born abbot 1953, who graduated from Port Richmond High School, Staten Island, New York, USA.
Willy Eikeland
in the U.S., School Yearbooks, 1900-1999
Name: Willy Eikeland
Estimated Age: 16
Birth Year: abt 1953
Yearbook Date: 1969
School: Port Richmond High School
School Location: Staten Island, New York, USA
There is no record of a Evelyn Alequin graduating from the same school however. Perhaps she and her parents Victor and Enedia Alequin came to Staten Island in between 1969 and the marriage in 1976. |

| I find exactly one public tree on Ancestry containing Oddvin Eikeland, and it is managed by Clarice Eikeland. It seems logical to contact her... |
