> There were 4 brothers that emigrated from our home to
> USA: Thomas, Ole, Bersvend and John.

I did run across the other brothers and their families...many times in various records. I limited my search to Ole Johnsen Skjei and Lien. I also limited my searches not knowing what you may have already had.

Again, the Norway List had many queries about the Lien name, and some on Skjei. So there might be someone on this list that has direct connection to your family.

Good Luck!
