&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hi:
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I am fairly new to the internet
am really not sure how to go about this.&nbsp; I hope I'm going about this
in the proper maner.
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My elderly parents--79 &
81 years old--are taking a trip to Norway in july.&nbsp; They plan to take
a cruise on the fjords and spend a couple of days in Oslo.&nbsp; My father's
ancesters are originaly from Norway and I am hoping to find out if we have
any relitives still living there.&nbsp; I originaly learned about this
wounderful web site form Linda Schwartz and hope that someone out there
can help us.
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My fathers grandfather was
August Osthagen.&nbsp; He remembers from conversation&nbsp; that August's
family emigrated from Norway in 1877 or 1878 and he knows little of those
who remained in Norway.
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My fathers grandmother was
Thora Andersen ( or possibly Andresen ) who came to the USA in 1887 and
was married to August in about 1888 or 1880.&nbsp; She maintained contact
over the years until her death in 1939 ro 1940 with a person that he believes
was her sister.&nbsp; Her sisters adress as best he can remember it was:
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fro Marta Gloppe
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; #1 Harbitz Gade
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Oslo, Norway

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On my great grandmothers
only visit back to Norway in 1937 she was met at the ship by her nephews.&nbsp;
Probably the sons of her sister.
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thru the help of Linda Schwartz
and a couple of people there in Norway we have established that there are
at least four familys still living in Oslo named Gloppe.&nbsp; My parents
have tried writing a letter to each of these but have recieved no reply.&nbsp;
Perhaps they are not relitives and it's just a dead end.
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If there is anyone out there
who can be of&nbsp; further help I would really appreciate it.&nbsp; My
parents are getting on in years and this would would be a great joy to
them if they could contact a relitive still living in Norway.
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My name is Bob Norton and
I live in St louis, Missouri.&nbsp; My e-mail adress is .&nbsp;
Again any help would be appreciated.
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Thanks
<BR>&nbsp;
