I'm looking for the family of Sverre Braathen who probably lived in Dane, Wisconsin. He was born in Norway in 1895 og came to USA 1915 - 1920. Can someone help me!!

I know of two Sverre Braathen - one was a lawyer from Madison, Wisconsin, and the other was my great uncle from La Crosse, Wisconsin. Uncle Sverre was a cook during WW1 and was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in La Crosse with a headstone that indicates his service. I have made a page for him on Find A Grave. He was born in 1892 in La Crosse and died in 1931 on New Years Day. There were rumors of too much alcohol.

Sverre Oliver Braathen was born in 1985 in Grand Forks, ND, but settled in Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin after Law School, and practiced law there. His hobby was the circus, and he published many photos of that, as well as a book on Ty Cobb. Google him to find more information.
