Surnames: Melstveit, Amundsen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/pBC.2ACE/4310 Message Board Post: I am searching a family from Norway. Two girls - Marita (Martha) Melstveit, b. Sept. 29 1887 and Inger Storås (b. 1883) emigrated in 1904. Their first destination was Willmar, Kandiyohi Co.,Minnesota. Later on, we know Inger moved to King County. She is found where in the 1910 census in Seattle at 6th Presinst, in 1920 census at Kennydale Pricinot and in 1930 census in Seattle City. Inger (Engel) was married to Johannes Flatabø (b. 1879). Their children was Helga Flatabo b. 1906 in Minnesota, Borghild (Beekel) Flatabo b. 1907 in Washington, Eric Flatabo b. 1910 in Washington and Ingrid Flatabo b. 1915 in Washington. Flatabo have been spelled like Flatabo, Fletebo, Flateboe and Fletcher. At arriving at Ellis Island Martha is listing Christine Skaalheim as her relative/friend. She was married to John Skaalheim. I am searching Marita or Martha (she might have been called so in US), but if I could find any information on the other families, it might help me finding Martha. Martha might have used the second name Amundson as her maiden name. Martha had two sons.
