I would be very grateful if anybody had any information about Severin Lunde, my great grandfather. Unfortunately I have very limited knowledge about him. On the other hand, Severin Lunde has never been a common name in Norway. Severin Lunde was from Kongsberg, in Telemark. He moved to Kristiania (now Oslo) as a child and grew up in the city. I believe he worked as a blacksmith. Severin Lunde was married to Karoline Lunde. He had two sons. He emmigrated at the age of 30 from Kristiania to the US, arrived in NY October the 10th 1902, (according to the Ellis Island records). His wife and their sons - my grandfather was one year old at that time - were supposed to join Severin later, when he had established himself in the US. They never heard from him (at least my mother was told that they never heard from him). My guess is that he drank himself to death. In that case I guess there is not much information about him in any accessible records. Please excuse my spelling mistakes, English is not my native language. Bjørn
