P, Boy that is a toughie, as he is digging for a needle in a haystack. Here is a great reference which he might want to check out ??? http://www.accessgenealogy.com/bios/scandinavian/ Also, he might want to check with the Polk Library and UW-O Archives in Oshkosh, WI, for immigration papers. Here is what is available there: http://www.shsw.wisc.edu/archives/arcnet/oshkosh.html http://www.uwosh.edu/archives/ Hope this helps. Not to insult anyone, but have been getting requests from people on how I am searching the internet. Usually I use yahoo... so I got this by going to http://www.yahoo.com and typing in Wisconsin Archives in the search engine, and scrolling down... I tried JOHANSEN and got 24 pages of uselessness (grin). Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I am not related to nor have any additional information on these surnames... R/S MAK ps Tina, the USGenConnect Boards are still down, as are the rootsweb search engines, so while pages are up, not all is well at rootsweb-land... --- WIGEN-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > ATTACHMENT part 4 message/rfc822 > Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2001 14:47:40 -0600 > From: Priscilla Baier <cilla@execpc.com> > To: WIGEN-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [WIGEN-L] FW: Peder Myre [Johansen] - Helgeland to America [maybe > to Menasha, Winnebago Wisc???] > > Hi, > Does anyone have any hints for this gentleman?
