I was born in Seattle, WA and have been doing genealogy research since 1994. My father was born in Sumstad, Norway and I have been to the place where he was born. My mother was born in Spokane, WA. I graduated from Bellevue High School and joined the US Marine Corps in 1960 and stayed 20 years. After I retired from the Corps, I worked for the Hewlett Packard Company in Bellevue, WA for another 20 years. I have 3 wonderful children, one lives in Canada, one in Washington State, and the other in Alabama. I am currently living in Tucson, AZ and am willing to take photos or help with research if I can. Anyone is welcome to use any photographs I have posted or any bios I have posted.
