>I write this letter to you because I'm looking for descendants of my
>ancestors. The story as far as I know is:
>
>In 1890 my grandfather's oldest brother Mons Endresen Husebo, born 1875,
>immigrated to the U.S., but I don't know where he went. In 1903 his brother
>Andreas Endresen Husebo, born 1883, and his sister Marie Endresdtr. Husebo,
>born 1886, went too, and their destination was Hawley, MN. As far as I
>know, you couldn't go to the U.S. in those days without having someone to
>go to. I wonder if they went to meet their older brother and that he had
>settled in Hawley. Out of six children, three went to the U.S. When Andreas
>and Marie went, bother their parents were dead, I'm just wondering if any
>relatives of these are still living in Hawley.
>
>The last week of May I will be in St. Cloud for the graduation of my
>youngest daughter who spent the last year as an exchange student in high
>school. Her "family" has promised me a trip to Hawley to see this town and
>maybe visit the cemetery to see if I could find any graves of my relatives.
>
>Since Hawley is not a big city I wonder if any of your readers may know
>anything about these relatives of mine. I guess they are dead, but maybe
>they have children or grandchildren still alive? All news about them would
>be of interest and you may reach me by post: Greta Husebo, 23, Kaptein
>Amlandsvei, N-5162, Laksevag, Norway; by e-mail:; or by
>fax nr.:00 47 5527 5235.
>
>Sincerely Yours, Greta Husebo
