Dear Greg, Cliff and other Listers! Thank you very much for your latest comments on Ole Erickson Urnes! His destiny remains a big "mystery", and I really don't know where else to turn... Could he somehow have lied about his name or birth? My grandmother's only brother enlisted as a soldier in WW1, but when he was drafted to leave for the war, he had "disappeared". "No such person"! The family knew nothing about him until he showed up 30 years later...! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.

Dear Lars, Grasping at straws but there was Hernæs family that married into my family and some of the children emigrated. If you need soem information about them, I can give you some - not much. though. Sincerely Barbara in MA On 3/2/2015 6:17 PM, Lars E.

Dear Listers! This morning I would very much like to resend a few past inquiries about individuals that may have been forgotten, and which I am VERY interested in trying to fill in missing details about before going to press. This is one of them, and I wish to thank you all very very much for every little bit and piece of information that can be found, perhaps basically thru newspaper notices(?).
