It seems that from this list, (and I had to go off for a while), one miracle had happened after another. Some I have helped and others have done wonderful things for me. The other day, I put the name Rekow for information. A man named Paul Rekow answered me today. My dad's brother, Iver Sortum married Ruby Rekow in 1935 and they divorces. We loved her, but lost track. She is deceased but it concludes a chapter in my book. Incredible as this seems, Ruby was Paul's Dad's half sister. He had all the history on the family. Could one ask for more? A girl from Minnesota named Karen wrote to me yesterday about her roots in an area of Sor Trondelag Fykle that I did not have a Bygdebok for; however, I forwarded her letter to a contact from that area, and they are related! Karen knew of him and was going to write him a snail mail letter, but my friend in Norway was awed! Thank you MInnesota, Ardell
