Roger, if you send the information you know about your grandfather such as his name, age, parent's names etc. to the List we can possibly give you more help. The Digitalarkivet should show information and the Ellis Island site will possibly give some information. The more we know about him the easier it is to find his information Also let us know where in North Dakota they lived, if you know the township and county that would help. Jean in Minnesota -----Original Message----- From: Roger Phillips [mailto:jingles02@earthlink.net] Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 7:46 PM To: NOR-OPPLAND-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Oppland] Genealogy Questions. Margit, My grandfather came to the United States from Sordorp, Oppland County in 1893. I am trying to determine: What ship brought him from Norway? Where did he leave from? Did any other family members come with him? He eventually arrived in Otter Tail County Minnesota around Parkers Prairie and met my grandmother Carrie Peterson. They were married in 1900 and moved to North Dakota but I don't know whether they were married before they went to ND or after they arrived. Any suggestions on where I might run down this information? Roger Phillips jingles02@earthlink.net Why Wait?
