I'll be happy to try to help you if you think you might be able to help me. My mother's maiden name is Brekkestran. A Brekke married a Strand and now I get a headache trying to tell who came from where. If you could try to help me figure out when this happened and who married who, I'd appreciate it. And I can try to track down migration records from the period to see what I can find about where you really came from.
