My name is Theresa Bjerkness. I am possibly a relative of your family. My grandfather's name is Carl Bjerkness, too. I have been building a family tree and was researching names on the internet. I came across your name in the
www.ancestry.co.uk message boards. You responded to a message and mentioned that Carl Bjerkness from Riverton, MN is your grandfather. So, I thought, Carl might be the same as my grandfather.
My grandfather was married to Helen Bailey. They had five children: Jim Bjerkness, Tim Bjerkness, Jerry Bjerkness, Mary (Bjerkness) Sheldrup, and Barbara (Bjerkness) Shafel. My grandfather and Helen lived in Swatara (or) Hill City, MN for as long as I can remember. Not sure if they lived in Riverton, MN or not. As I am fairly new to trying to trace my family heritage.
If any of the names I mentioned ring a bell, please let me know. I am building a family tree. If you would like to view the tree yourself, you are more than welcome to. The address is:
http://www.myheritage.com/site-47781831/bjerkness-web-site. I have 377 names posted in the website already and would love to add more, including you and your family!
Please respond as soon as you can directly to my email.
Thank you and I hope you have a great holiday!
Theresa Bjerkness
