Hi Mary! You should start in the States, find her death-cert. Maybe there is an obit for her? If she was in Loma Linda in 1925, she is listed in the census, where you also find her parents names, and, how long she had been in USA. Then you can start looking for her immigration record, where it states where she came from in Norway. Since she was born in "early 1900's, her parents will be listed in the 1900-census in Norway, which is complete on the internet at this adresses: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/index-eng.htm (where you also will find emigration-registers) and http://www.rhd.uit.no/indexeng.html I think I found her husband, Wendell McCaslin, in the SSDI-index: Birth Feb. 15. 1892 died May 1971 in Tentynine Palms, San Bernardino, CA SS#562-10-9524. If you find their marriage, it also will tell you the name of her father. But, first, you have to do some more research in USA. Happy hunting!
