Looking for any help
KirstinNorwayHi everyone I am looking for specific information or directions to reasearch sites for my Father and Grandparents. My Father was born in Oslo Norway in 1940 he came back to the us via the Stavangerfjord His sur name at birth was Sivertsen but somewhere along the road his father changed it to Severson...I am trying to track down any info about thier travel, re entering the US, how the name was changed, any resources that might help me get more information. Thanks so much! Kirstin
valdahlI DO NOT KNOW HOW COMMON THE SEVERSON NAME IS BUT THERE ARE SEVERSON'S IN NEW HAMPTON, IOWA IS THIS HELPS AT ALL.
maggiUnfortunately the databases on Inernett (Digitalarkivet) with emigrants from Oslo go only as far as 1930. Do you have your grandparents' names? What was your father's christian name? Do you yourself live in Norway or the States(thinking about what access you have to records before I try to give you some advice) ? . Greetings from snowy Moss. Margaret
