I must have made a mistake. I wonder now if I should follow the Thorsen name or the Bratraaget name or both? Thank you so much for checking the telephone book. Did I tell you that we found our family on my grandmother's side just recently? It was very exciting because there are 3 generations still living on the fossehagen farm near Hordorp in Son Fron. My youngest son is going to go visit them this summer and I am hoping they may know something about the Bratraaget's because they live nearby. I don't know where you live but if you live in the ringebu area, do you know Ole or Iver Fossehagen? their great grandfather is a brother to my great grandfather, Hans (Fossehagen) Pederson.
