[#67589] Lofoten

[Gjest Per Bragstad]

One of my uncles (from Evenes in Ofoten) went to sea on an iron ore carrier in Narvik, bound for an English harbour. He ended up in the US during WW1. One of his comrades, ended up in South Africa. During the years lots of young men of Ofoten went to sea on these iron ore carriers between Narvik and harbours in England and Germany. Maybe this Magnus Bertin went to sea the same way and ended up in Swansea? Maybe there is a record of him in a shipping office?

[Gjest Åse Kristiansen]

The databases of baptisms in Bergen only go to 1894 and I haven't got time to look through the scanned church records; I don't even know what church they belonged to or if they belonged to a church at all.
