My grandfather came here from Stavanger, Norway in 1907/08. His name was Martin Berg. He was a sailor and preceeded his wife and daughter Ruth, to the USA. They settled in Philadelphia in 1908. My father, Howard William Berg was born in 1908. He had 3 brothers, Roy, Wilmer Walter. The latter dying young. Grandmom was Ragna Hanson from Oslo, Norway. Ruth married a James Gray, had 1 daughter Peggy and 1 son James and settled in Long Island, NY. Roy married an Elva ? and they had a daughter Susan. Migrated to Florida in the 50's. Wilmer was a sailor in WWII. Last known to be in San Francisco and in Merchant Marines ca. 1946. The church in Stavanger burned and took with it family history. If any other Norsker Bergs or Hansons want to communicate compare notes, drop a line!
