rcsmith | I am trying to find my great-grandparents. Unfortunately, once they got to Canada, they never discussed their past, so my grandmother does not have much information. This is what I know: Marie Christiansen(born Oct 24, 1887) married Carl Alfred Olsen (born Jan 5, 1885) and they had a daughter named Elise Olsen, born May 19, 1907. They left Kristiania when Elise was a baby, great-grandmother was very sick during the voyage, so great-grandfather looked after the baby. Apparently great-grandfather remembers seeing the Statue of Liberty so I assume they came through Ellis Island (could not find anything in their database). They came to Notch Hill, British Columbia to stay with a cousin named Kristofferson. Elise died at 10 months in Notch Hill. Any ideas where I should try to find Marie and Carl's families?
