Find Family
I live in the U.S.A. and have trace my father's side of the family to MOSJOEN,NORWAY.

HARRY(HANS) H. ARNESEN(grandfather) came from Norway to USA in 1919?.I think it would be neet to find the name of the ship they traveled on. He married a Lauretta Sibilsky and settled in MICHIGAN.

His father IVOR DANIEL ARNTSEN married to Jonetta Henriksdatter (They are buried in DOSTAD CEMETERY in Norway). Ivor had a brother PETTER.I have letters saying these brothers sold there house's to the town to build a court house.This would be interesting to find out.(I dont think this to be true after talking to family member in Norway).
