was b 1862 at Moster near Bergen, Norway.
I believe his Norweigian Name was Moster.
I know nothing of my grandfather, before he
Came to USA then on to Canada.
I dont know his parents names or his siblings.
He arrived in Canada 1920 age 55.
Is there anyone that has access to and the language
fluency to search the Digitalarkivet for this family.
Thank you so very much.
