Henning- I use ancestry.com for my family tree.

I spoke to Eddy on the phone yesterday and he agreed to meet with me, show me around Drobak, see the gravesite and the farmhouse, and even take me to Holmstrand! We are going to exchange photos from the separated families too! I can't thank you all ...

Yes, I have made contact with Eddy Johansen! We emailed back and forth twice, and I told him I would call him tomorrow morning 8/21. I will let the forum know what happens.

Also, who is Rolf and Karen?

Thanks, Rachel

Are there any records of why Gustav was arrested? Also does it say the prison he was in?

I am in total shock right now, and I cannot believe this! You all have completely made my mother and I so happy, and I cannot tell you how much this means to us!! We have been waiting decades to know if there is family out there!

What is the man's name who you spoke with?

My email is rachel ...

Hi, I am the American looking for my family. I am so shocked and excited to have all of you helping me! I have found out more in the last 2 days than I have in my whole life!

I have one correction for an earlier post. Josephine Emily Johansen married Gustav Emil Strand and moved to New York ...
