Hi! There is a good chance that you will find further information at the Vesterheim Norwegian Research Center which is located in Madison, WI. They have a web page too <http://www.salamander.com/~vesterheim/madison.html>, but don't email them - they have told me flat out that they don't read their mail - more of an outgoing system I guess. Anyway, the page has quite a lot of information on it for you. Thanks, Peggy Perry pegmar@mhtc.net Moderator for The Obituary Daily Times the email newspaper of obituaries from around the world!
