I am the granddaughter of Olaf August Johnsen Lygren and Magdalene Loftheim Lygren. Both of my grandparents were born in Bergin, Norway and first settled in St. Paul Minnesota. Olaf died after contracting tuburculosis at the naval ship yards in Seattle, Washington. He was an architect or draftsman. One of Olaf's brother's, Sigurd, was also in the Seattle area I believe. Both also worked in Pennsylvania at one time. There are several Lygren's in the Seattle area and I wonder if any are relatives. The name does not seem to be that common. Please e-mail me if you have any information at all on the Lygren name. Thank you. Judy Gimple,
