My grandfather was born in Norway in 1889. He came to US with his parents and siblings in the early 1900's and he settled in Bath, ME. He married an Irish lady from Boston who's name was Kathryn Kressey. They produced 23 children, some who then relocated to Minn. and Nevada. My mother, Margaret, was the youngest of the 23 children, and Hans passed away from heart disease, alcoholism, and black lung in 1939. He worked under the shipyard shoveling coal. I do not know if my great-grandparents and my grandfather's siblings stayed in Maine or if they moved to Minnesota too. I am only 40 years old and if my grandfather was still alive, he would be over 116 years old. Thank you.
