Hi Karen
Since my English i'snt so good so I use Google Translate to help. If something is not quite understandable, tell me so I can try to explain it another way.
My grandmother has told me about various relatives, among them, Maren and Erik. In connection with my hobby genealogy, I have tried to find out a little more about the people she has told about. Regarding to Maren and Erik i tried to find out what happen to them after they came to USA. Now it looks like I've found the right people :-)
If the work I have done is ok Maren was the sister of my great grandfather, then we are relatet in Norwegian it is called firmeninger.
