I am tracing some descendants of Ole Ellefsen Sletten and is wifte Ingeborg Eriksdatter born & christened 15 Jan. 1832. Øyer, Oppland, Norway. They had a grandson, Ole Edvardsen Bergum, (named Ole Sletten in the US) married to Mathea Torgersdatter Olstadøverjordet. Ole came to US in april or june 1903, and Marthea and their 3 children came to the US in sep/oct 1903. Ole probably died between 1909-1912, as he his not mentioned in the US Census 1910, and Mathea remarried in 1912 to Bendick Hanson. I am interesting in descendants of Ole and Mathea Sletten Hi.

Frank lived in the Oakland area until after he retired; his own memoir does not say just when he moved to Fallbrook, near San Diego. Please try to dredge up more memories of the visit you referred to. I must have missed that picture when I archived selected photos of Mom's. Also any memories of Aunt Nora, my next "victim." Just made contact with a great-granddaughter of hers. Please email me as much as you can remember of both of them. Cheers! Wow, sis, I guess I never thought to ask you!

The big mystery is about his teenage son (my great-grandfather), who was supposed to have gone along with Henry, but that has not yet been verified. Thanks.

It is sad that he died so young. Have you read the "History of the 33d Iowa Infantry Volunteer Regiment 1863-6" by Andrew Sperry? It is a quite complete account of the 33rd's activity and easy to find in major bookstores or public libraries. My great-great grandfather, Kryn DeBruyn, was also in the 33rd Iowa Regiment, Company G. He was captured at Jenkins Ferry, Arkansas, and spent 10 months as a prisoner (4 of them in Tyler, Texas), before he was paroled. Though he lived and raised 13 children, he suffered from the effects of sunstroke and scurvy, protracted during his time in the war, the rest of his life. It would be interesting to hear from you.
