My name is John Tallacksen Jr. I'm looking for family currently living in Norway or other places in the world outside of the U.S.
I would also like to see if it is possible for my family to be related to WWII hero Edvard Tallaksen (1918-1944) or any Tallaksens for that matter.
I do know that my family comes from Kristiansand, Norway. My great great great grandfather's name was Bernt Tallacksen, and his wife was Oleana Andrea "Lena" Tallacksen. After Bernt and two of their children died, Oleana took most or maybe all of the remaining children and left Norway for the U.S. Somewhere along the way it appears that she remarried to a man named Jacob Adolf Juul. Since then, my family has lived in the U.S.- mostly outside of Chicago, IL. It is possible that one of Bernt and Oleana Andrea's children stayed in Norway, and never moved to the U.S.
If you know any Tallacksens in Norway or anywhere please let me know. If you are a Tallacksen, and we don't know each other, please get in touch with me.
