Hans Kolden-Hanson

Hans is my Grandfather who died about 1950. He came to the US through Nova Scotia around the 1900's. I think he had a sister Marie, Sigli, a twin sister Rnelog. He also had 3 brothers, Ole, Ole, Elle. I think they were from the Lom area, around Gudbronsteadle (spell?) area. Any information would be appreciated. I think his last name was Kolden in Norway, but became Hanson in US. Thank you, Susan Anderson. e-mail me at swilanders@aol.com
