My grandmother came from a farm near Hyllestad, Norway in 1907. She was 27, unmarried and came to be in her cousin’s wedding in Minneapolis, MN She worked in her aunt’s millenary shop in Bergen and found work as a seamstress for a family in Minneapolis and never went back to Norway. I am attempting to write the story of my grandmother’s adventures. My cousin put together some facts but I need so much more. Grandmother met and married a man from Tronheim, Norway who also immigrated to the Minneapolis area. He was a shoemaker. They settled in Williston, North Dakota.

I am Norwegian American, my great-grandparents came to. America from Bergen / Oslo in 1905. I remember visiting the Folk museum in Oslo and seeing old photos of Norwegian from 100 years ago and crying, because the faces all looked like my mother and grandmother….. I came from somewhere!!! Too many of us in the U.S. have experience our roots dissolved into “American-ness.” Again, thank you….. These photos brought me full circle….
