Bjerkness Relative?

Bjerkness Relative?

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!

Wow, this is very interesting! Thank you for replying to my post. It's been such a long time since I posted, that I don't remember doing it. I never knew much about my grandfather's side of the family. I only know who my immediate relatives are-my aunts, uncles, and cousins.

If you want to exchange more e-mails, please send to: TBjerknessSavage@yahoo.com. I will not be replying to any more posts on ancestry because I am never on there to read any e-mails. So sorry!
