Subject: schytte-----please help me find relatives in Norway
Date: Sun, 1 Oct 2000 09:13:43 -0700


My grandmother Hilda Elizabeth Schytte, was born in 1875, in Norway. She
married Carl Victor Anderson in Houghton Michigan at about 1895 to 1903.
They moved to Seattle Washington in 1904. They had 5 children; Eric, born in
1904; Carl, born in 1904; Elizabeth, born in 1907; Howard, born in 1908 and
Arnold, born in 1916.

My aunt Elizabeth Johnson made a trip to Norway in the late 1950's or the
early 1960's. She visited our relatives and was taken to the church or
cathedral in Trondheim that our Schytte ancestors had quite a bit of
influence. My grandmother told me that the name Schytte was carried through
to the first ancestor that came to Norway and the Schytte's were the head
ministers for years and years and years. The first Schytte studied
Lutheranism in Germany and then traveled to Norway.

If any one can remember my aunt visiting Norway 40 or 50 years ago,when you
were small children or teenagers or are older now, I would appreciate it
very much if you would please let me know. I am 67 years old now and I am
trying finish our Family Tree soon.
