[#34035] Looking for ancestors from Kongsvinger.

[Gjest Michael Erickson]

My grand father Ole Erickson was born December 26, 1882 at Kongsvinger and had a brother Erick Erickson born December 25, 1877. They both immigrated to USA and lived in Mountrail County, North Dakota. USA. They are known to have a brother Lars that had a family who remained in Norway near Kongsvinger. He had a daughter that visited USA about 1972. I would like to know if there are still decendents living in Norway? Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, Michael Erickson.
