I received a thank you note from my cousin. It had a print of a painting by my grandfather, E.O.Forseth. On the back of the card was your web sight. I would love to purchase some of these if available. Thanks. Hal forseth Billings, Montana
I want to know the shipping line that the Bersie’s sailed on to get to the U.S.A. in 1849?
Also, the Tollefsruds in 1859, I believe. Their journey from Norway to Minnesota is fascinating to me. Talk about jet lag!
I have seen the exact walls that Scott Wolter did his documentary in GA… I am trying to contact him… I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains, NC… please contact me via facebook… These walls are on a lake on TN/NC border…
Thank you so much for posting the picture of the DVERGSTEN CAFE. That was our family restaurant for many years. I’m still doing a lot of research and I will see you this summer to check out some more.
