Hi Arthur, If you can start with a little history maybe we can connect the dots and find out if we are related and if not there are other in N.D. and MN. that may be able to help. Although Lian is not a common name, there seem to be many families in the North that share last names. If your new to this you will have fun exploring the internet for more info. Regards Terry

Hi Terry, My name is Joseph, not Arthur. I'm not sure where you got that name from. I live in Rhode Island, and am 35 years old. My fathers name is John Gary Lian Sr., and he lives in North Dakota now, but was born in Minn. on 8/29/42. His fathers name is Ole, and his mothers name is Yvonne. I know that he has a couple of brothers, but I am not sure how many or what their names are. I am very interested in finding out more information about my heritage and wasn't sure where to start. I have two sons that I would like to have know more also. I have never actually met my father but I have spoken with him many times over the last 10 years or so. If you have any information that might be helpful, I would appreciate it. Who knows, we may be related. I hope to hear back from you soon, and if theres any information I may have that you may find helpful, I'd be more than happy to help. Thank you. Joe Lian
