Request from Norway:
Could someone please look up the deaths of Olaf Frithof Brynelson b. 1875 (or Brynhildsen as his original Norwegian name was) and his son Jens Kristian b. 1898. The information I hope to receive, is next of kin and adress of the deseased, and from there perhaps locate some decendents.

They both arrived in Canada about 1917 together with a sister and a brother of Jens Kristian. The sister, Frida Eugene b. 1900, apparently married a Nels Nelson in 1920 in Vancouver, but I don't know what happend to the brother Karl.
Many regards from
Toril Osther

Hello there.
I am the Great-Great grandson of Olaf Fritgof Brynelson.
My grandfather was Jens Brynelson
My Father was Frank Brynelson. (deceased 1965-04-16)

Could you please forward to me any information on Olafs wife, from what I understand, she stayed behind in Norway while he came over to buy a homestead. From what I understand, by the time he managed to buy some land & build a house, she had decided to stay in Norway.


Thank you in advance.
Jim Brynelson

I think I can help you and maybe you can help me...

Olaf's wife stayed in Norway to take care of my grandmother
Lilly Ingeborg Staaf..

Please contact me :-)
