Hi all

My grandparents on my mothers side.

Sverre Christian Hendrichsen d. 1977
Married to Astrid Svendsen ( orginally from Sweden )

Got one child, Reidunn

One of Sverres brothers emigrated to USA and baught some coal/silver mines and got "stinkin" rich.
After his death, approx. late 1950's, the only object my grandparents inherited from him was an old Chrysler Coupe.

I need some help to find Sverres brothers and parents and g. parents.

And Astrids siblings and parents

Thank you

( I'm very fresh on this, but my reason to find my relatives is because my daughter is going to marry soon and I want to give her a very nice gift. A printed family tree )

Best

An admirable goal. Could you tell us the name of Sverre's brother who immigrated to the US and perhaps his birth year.
