My great grandfather Mons Thomassen Forland left Norway in 1900, leaving behind his parents and 8 siblings. He was the youngest, being born in 1877.
His parents names were Thomas Larsen and Oline Monsdatter. His siblings were:
Agathe = May 6, 1859.
Dorthe = January 6, 1861
Anne Monsine = January 22, 1863
Lars = December 29, 1864
Oline = February 1, 1867
Abraham Olai = April 19, 1869
Peder Andreas = 1871
Gyri Malene = March 6, 1875
I also know that Lars had a child around 1900 in Forland that he named Thomas. I have a christmas card dated 1920 from Thomas and Ella to Uncle Mons. I presume this Thomas is the son of Lars and the nephew of my great grandfather.
Does anyone by any chance have further information on any potential descendants still living in the area or know of any way to get in touch with the people over there in Forland?
