He left Norway in December of 1909 -

1900 Norwegian census in city of Bergen -

and his father in the 1865 census -

An online database of baptisms in Bergen indicates that the father was possibly married before Lovise - and that more children were born (perhaps not surviving?)

That first son died in the year of his birth -

And his mother died that same year -

And the grandfather that he was named for had died just 3 years earlier -

Greetings,

My mothers maiden name was Tvedt. Her sister: Lilian, brothers: Joseph and Les. Her father was a baker. He died at an early age in N. Dakada (?) of TB. My deceased Aunt Lilian Grohs of Portland Oregon had done quite extensive research on the family.

I know little, but the names I read on your page surely ring bells.
If this helps, I can connect you with my cousin who will have all the info his mom gathered over the years.

Regards,
Becky Thormahlen

Surnames: Twedt, Hanson, Westby
Do you have more information Caroline Hanson Twedt? What was her birthdate and birthplace?

Did she ever live in Lincoln County, Minnesota and get remarried to a Westby?

Caroline Tvedt was my father's mother. As far as I know, she was born in 1887 in Norway and died in the state of Washington in the USA in 1961. Don't think she was ever married to a Westby in Minnesota.
