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
