[#30915] Buros and Ostlie families

[Gjest Lars E. Øyane (Luster kommune)]

On behalf of Mrs. Pam Buros from Minnesota I post this inquiry, hoping that someone can help...:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I have only the barest information about my husband's ancestors:Their last name was Buraas (changed to Buros some time after they emigrated.)His father was Peter Christian Buraas, born in Iowa in 1877; grandfather was Hans Christianson Buraas, (unknown date and place of birth, but I'm suspecting Norway) and grandmother was Mathia Ostlie, born in Norway March 30, 1856. They were married in Iowa in 1873.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mrs. Buros is coming to Norway in two weeks, and if anyone can help her, please respond directly to her at:pamburos@surfside.netThank you very much in advance!Lars E.
