My great-grandfather, Karl Skaanes, emmigrated from Norway in the late 1880's. He came from Levanger, as did my great-grandmother, Elisabeth Lauritzsen. My grandmother, Inga Marie Skaanes, was born in Wisconsin in 1889. Are we related?

Did your great-grandfather have two sisters and a brother? My grandmother, Ingrid(Inga) M Skaanes (Scones) Sweeney lived in Pierce County, Tacoma, WA, also. Her brothers were longshoremen named Barney and Hank. Related?

My great-grandfather was Olaf Berent Skaanes, b. in Trondheim, NOR. His wife, Olafina Pederson was b. in Stavanger, NOR. He worked as a longshoreman in Tacoma, WA. His brother's name was Martin, who had worked on Randolph Hearst's yacht. Olaf's children were: Henry "Hank", Jackson "Jack", Genevieve "Genny", and Sunya "Sunnie"--my grandmother.

He married Olafina Pederson, migrating to Tacoma, WA, USA 2- Jan- 1904 from Antwerp, Belgium aboard the Dimsdal. He was a longshoreman. He had 4 children--Sunya, Henry, Jackson, & Genevieve. My grandmother is Sunya Beulah (SKAANES) Parsons.
