| I am looking for a lost great uncle. Martinus Bjerke. Father's name was Ole Bjerke, Mother's name Gunhild. Siblings were Olaf, Richard, Pernille, Grace, Anna, Martha 1 and Martha 2 to name a few. They came to the USA and stayed. Martinus went back. I know he was married twice and died around 1955. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated. |
