Is your whole post just one big keeper. I put it in my genealogy folder and I know it will come in handy. There was one site called "Crossing the Pond" which had information on immigrants from Europe. I'm hoping to find my great grandmother there. She came across from Christchurch (there are two of them in Norway, so I need to find out which one) Norway at the age of 16. Married an Irishman and promptly had 2 daughters. My Great grandfather died young..........not sure how..........and she took the girls, hopped a train and came across country to the PNW. I know she worked at the UW as a cook at one of the sororities, but not which one. She worked for them for yrs and also worked as a cook at Denny Park. Seattle school children would go there for weekend retreats and she would cook the meals. Her Mother and Father were Oly and Inga Olsen.........ouch.........and she died in Tacoma in '67. That is pretty much all I know about her, but I'd love to find out more.
