| Hi, could anyone tell me when the parents of Eric Serveraid came to the U S. He was born about 30 miles north of where I used to live. |

Tricky! 
And where did you use to live??  Wanamingo, Goodhue, Minnesota? Or Elmore, Faribault?
I would guess his father are from Fuse or Skånevik in Hordaland, but this is not much info to go on...

| As Hopkins stated, the parents were born in the United States. A article that I found on the internet states Eric's parents were Alfred and Clare (Hougen) Sevareid. I thought I would throw the mother's maiden name in just in case that helps researching the family in Norway. |

Alfred Erickson Sevareid is born ca 1883, probably in Wanamingo, Goodhue, Minnesota.
His wife Clara is born 23 Apr 1885, probably in Edina, Hennepin, Minnesota
Could Erick Erickson Sevareid & Carolina Krokström be Alfreds' parents?
I'm quite positive Erick Erickson Sevareid is from Hordaland (possibly Fuse or Skånevik), and thus emigrated through the port of Bergen...

| The Sevareid family has already researched their family history. Why any need to repeat that here? |

What kind of answer is that? Do you think Wally would have put up this request if she had Eric's familytree? |

The poster of the original question is NOT a member of the Sevareid family. They have not published their family tree online and I think they deserve privacy if they so choose.
