Hello Kari. Look at me responding to your email 12 years later!!! Ha!

Well I am a relative! Name is Karen and I'm a grand daughter of Raymond and we're from Vancouver, British Columbia.

My Uncle Howard (Raymond's son) had put together a bit of the family tree going back to when the family came over from Norway but I have lost access to the tree he put together online. Don't know what happened with that. He probably put it together after you sent your note so maybe you've already been in touch with him.

I'd love it if you would respond back with any info and maybe we can have a yak over the phone sometime!!!

This is very cool!

Take care family! : )

Abby: My name is Suzanne Lasley. My grandmother was Augusta Berge from Sisseton, SD. Her brother was Oscar Berge; their parents immigrated to the US from Norway; that must be what you saw at Ellis Island. This is all I know for now. Please let me know if you know any more and I will do the same!

Hello---my Doyle family was from Streator Illinois. I always believed my g.g.grandmother was a Berge or Berg, who married Hugh Doyle. I now find that a Lillie Mae Doyle married John Berge in 1880--this may be Dorthea's daughter, but she would only have been 15. The Doyle's are buried in Wunders Cemetary in Chicago, but I also find a Dorothea Berg buried there. The Doyle family also lived in Ottawa (on the 1880 census). Son, Edward Ely Doyle m. Anne Swensen and they lived in Chicago, although Edward often vistited Streator. I hope you can help me sort this out.

I am looking for a birth certificate for my father. He was an illegitimate child. He was born to a Anna Berge
on February 11, 1899, in Ramsey County, Minnesota. Past reference says she was married, but she was not. She was living with a relative by the name of Ingebretson. When she married my grand father she went by the name of Berge.

Re: HELP! Reunion of BERGE family in Canada every 2 years

I don't know the LILLESTOL name. You may know, Norwegians originally had patrynomics (that changed each generation!) for surnames and also farm surnames. LILLESTOL may be a family farm name.

I don't know any of my Karl BERGE's siblings, so Sigmund could be one. Send me more info -- dates, other names, town in Norway, date of immigration, town in Canada, and lets see if we can figure it our.

Re: HELP! Reunion of BERGE family in Canada every 2 years

Hello. I hope you are still out there. I married into the Berge family. I know that my husband's great grandfather Sigmund came to Canada with his brother Karl. They changed their name from Lillestol. If this sounds right you can contact me: dkberge@telusplanet.net and I can see if my father-in-law has any information for you.

Re: Andrew Berge

sbb48640 — 2009-07-09 10:33:57Z

I don't have an Esther Berge in my family. My grandfather Andrew moved to Michigan from NY. the only sister was Catharine and a brother Fred.

Re: Andrew Berge

sbb48640 — 2009-07-09 10:25:58Z

Just another thought. I do remember that they were not sure if it was Kansas or Iowa. There wasnt anyone old enough to talk to when this was started. I got the notes from a great aunt and she wasn't living to ask any questions when I received her notes.

Re: Andrew Berge

sbb48640 — 2009-07-09 10:15:59Z

Andrew came to the USA by way of Canada. Records show he enter the US in 1856. He went to New York then to Michigan. The first census record I found was in Monroe County, NY. His sister Catharine Berge Hines arrived in 1854, one year after her husband. They stayed in New York. They came to Michigan to live with their son after they got older. Most of their kids ended up in Kansas. I only have Fred listed as a sibling and was told he went Kansas. Which would explain Why Catharine's children might have moved out there. Although I haven't found any information to verify that Fred was or wasn't there. Catharine & John Hines did have a son named Fred. (??)

They came from Baden & Wurstenburg Germany. Their name was von Berg but changed it after arriving.

This is all I know. There are not any parents on Andrew's death certificate. He died up north and the records didn't have parents names on those records. Catharine died in Detroit. She moved in with her daughter after John died. I haven't found her death record yet.

What do you think?

Re: Andrew Berge

rbaron1776 — 2009-01-12 03:38:33Z

Hi. I am looking at the Berge family as well. I am descended from a Fred Berge who was born in 1837 in Germany. He emigrated between 1850-1870. I have his parents, from his death record, listed as Fredrick Berge and Elizabeth Brown. No mention anywhere about siblings. Fred lived in Streator, LaSalle Co, IL and later Avoca, Pottawattamie Co, IA. I find other Berges in LaSalle County. I am wondering if there could be a connection?

Let me know your thoughts!
Thanks

Frithjof Berge

instagator57 — 2007-03-22 20:06:48Z

I believe he was born in Norway in 1911, died in Lynnwood WA 1990.
Brothers were Tormed and Harald Berg, sister Astrid Berg. Apparently his mother was married to a Berg, after his passing she married a Berge. Fritz married his second wife, Locile Evelyn Drake sometime in the early to mid 1950's, they lived in and around Seattle WA.
Tormed died sometime in the early 1960's, his wifes name was Alice. They lived in Tacoma WA.
Harald lived in Port Orchard Wa.
Astrid married an Anderson and I think they lived near Everett WA.
I am looking for any family information and appreciate and and all info you can share.
Thank You!
