Wow, overwhelming information! Thanks for your attention to detail in this thread and the Denmark thread. Regarding the IAStory site, Mark Christian is distantly related to me, he does a good job of compiling sources and information. As you have deduced, I have an extensive amount of information on both families (DK and NO) one they have arrived in the US, but very little prior to this. I will remember to be exacting in my query, so that I can avoid having the researchers plowing over old ground. Thank you so much for all that you do on all of your efforts.
