                      | Hello, I`m looking for my family in the US. There was a girl, named Julie from Vivestad, Vestfold in Norway who went to the US, there she met a man named Olav/Olaf Taralson who was also from Vivestad in Norway. They got two daughters, named Evelyn and Grace. Grace married in Liverpool, thats all i know about her. And Evelyn married a man named Jo, and got one daughter named Andrea Paterson/Peterson. Please let me know if you know anything about these people! Thanks =) |  |

                      | Without more information to identify these persons you will probably have a VERY difficult time finding anyone who can recognize them. 
 The 1920 US census shows a family headed by Olaf Taraldsen, 31 yrs old (b. ca. 1889 Norway), immigrated to US 1908, became naturalized US citizen in 1913 and employed in 1920 as a tug boat engineer.   Wife - Julia, 29 yrs old (b. ca. 1891 Norway), immigrated to US in 1911.  This census page was completed in the first week of January in 1920 - the daughter Evelyn is listed as 4 yrs 5 months old, and daughter Grace is listed as 1 year 3 months old, both born in New York.   They are living at #463  57th Street in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York in January 1920.
 
 Someone else lists no identifying dates for a possible match -

                      | Thank you so much for your answer!!  I`m not sure but I think they changed name to Haraldsen? I`m looking for Evelyn`s daughter, Andrea, but I don`t know her last name.....

                      | Ok, on this page; http://thor.genserv.net/sub/mb5a/fam_45.htm#7 i found out that Evelyn Taraldsen and Wilbur Joseph McCullough got 3 children; John Gregory McCullough, Robert Joseph McCullough and Edward Scott McCullough.... So, there was no Andrea as I thought..... |
