Hello,
Actually my name is Barbara....email address listed in my husband's name.
Anyway, I will check on the Bratvold linkage....I am not related but am trying to find relatives for my Aunt Hazel Bratvold Sommer.
My aunt is almost completely blind and she has a scrapbook of pictures that she would like to have given to someone who would be interested in the Bratvolds as she has no children.
In checking on the internet, it doesn't seem that there are very many Bratvolds in the United States so odds are that they could be related.
Here is all that I have so far....the family came from Norway and settled in Stoughton, Wisconsin.Their names were Peter and Lena Bratvold.They had a family of 5 boys and 1 girl: Hildus, Olaf, Robert, Eli, Carl and Dora.I have not been able to track the location for all of them but most stayed in the southern Wisconsin area.
Do you have access to any early records to see if there might be a link?
Thanks.
