Searching for family - John Bernt Iverson
John Bernt Iverson -- with wife Hanna; daughters Lovise (11 months), twins Lydia and Johanne (1 month)
Originally from Prestoya/Praestoen Island and Bodo, Nordland.
Emmigrated from Trondheim 1885 on "Hero"; not sure of exact departure date
Destination "Wattson Minn" (Watson, MN today)
Twins did not survive the rough voyage.
Possibly traveled with his mother and her family???
My G-grandfather: their son, Iver Iverson born 1886 in MN, then family moved to Washington State, USA -- where I live.
Iver's daughter Ruth Iverna Iverson was my grandmother.
Any and all information eagerly awaited.
OR
If there are family members looking for descendents,
please email to [email hidden]
Would love to exchange emails from someone in Bodo or Nordland area.
