[#3726] Berven, ULLENSVANG

[Gjest Nancy Gustafson]

Looking for info on my g-grandfather, Edwin Olsen Berven. Born 1838 in Ullensvang, emigrated to USA in 1859 with his twin brother, Louis, and his children. Returned to Norway in 1874 and brought his sister Anna to USA. Any info about his parents or siblings would be greatly appreciated. Also, looking for Anna in 1865 census with no luck.

As a start , the farm name should be BØRVE , I found Edvin and Anna b 1834 in Emigranter fra Bergen , together they left april 14 1874 , and Edvin must have returned once more , because he is also registrerd in 1910, june 20. tovt-eik@online.no Tove .
