Thank you Leo,
This indeed appears to be my ggg grandfather, as it lists several of his
children in the same info sheet. Many thanks!
Part of the information that I am now missing relates directly to my great
grandfather Jorgan Isakson's generation. I have no info about when and how
he immigrated to the US, and who with. Nor do I know of any possible
siblings of Jorgan's that may have come to the US or stayed in Norway.
Any suggestions on these matters would be wonderful.
Again, thank you.
Sincerely, Don Isakson
