He has a weak remind that she had married a man, imigrated from Sweden (maybe not correct) in that time. He can remeber a name,Lars Larsen, maybe her husband? Perhaps she took her husbands family name? > This Christmas-greetings stopped, but my father doesn`t know what happened to Karoline (and her sister Olianna?). > Did she get children? Are there still descendants living in Duluth or anywhere in America? > My father would be happy to know the truth. Can anyone please help us to find Karoline or Olianna in imigrant registers, church registers or where she(they) is(are) buried ? Maybe we can find relatives ? > Please help us with this search ! Tell us where to search!!!!!!!! > Are there other "Duluth`s" in America that could be her living-place about 1910-1930? > We look forward to get answers, thank you and all good wishes from Norway! > > Jan Kaare Bergland
