I am reaching out to see if your organization or members has any information on the Schytte or Morch families. My great grandfather, Peter Andreas Schytte emigrated from Norway to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A. in 1874. I am trying to trace the family back and learn about the family and the history of the area they were from. Here is what I know: ----- My great grandfather was: Peter Andreas Schytte Born May 3, 1848 Sarpsborg, Norway (from the 1865 Census) Emigrated to the U.S. on the ship Hero in 1874 Died in Milwaukee Wisconsin in 1913 His parents were: Father: Thomas Julius Schytte Born 1815 Fredrickshald, Norway Casserer at Sparebanken in 1875 Treasurder at Sparebanken in 1885 Mother: Johanne Margrete Morch Born 1809 Glemminge Prg., Norway Peter had a younger brother named Emil. ----- It appears that there was a period of about 50 or 60 years where Norway had "numberical" censuses and did not collect information on names and relationships. I see people with the same or similar names in earlier periods, but can not establish the relationships. I am trying to find out more information on these people, and if possible, information on who their ancestors were. I did find a picture of my great grandfather's brother Emil on the Oslo Museum web site. Are there any descendants still living in the area that may have photos or other information? I have looked on the following sites provided by Østfold Museums, but may have missed resources due to the web page translators.
