      Dear friends Sir/Mmd

       

      My name is Roy Lindquist and I`m hoping to find more information on my Great great Grandfather; Ole Svebakken ( Ole Hanson Svebakken ) born 1828 in Ringebu,  Norway and lived too in Oyer, Oppland, Norway.
      Ole Emigrated to US in 1859.

      He took his family with him (from the2.nd marriage) Ragnhild and som their children I believe.
      I hope and cross my fingers that you can be so kind to help me to learn more about there life and whereabouts?

      I cant afford to be a member of Ancestry.com and then I have a limit opportunity  to do any more research by myself. I use though Familysearch.org, but they don't go deep into the records one each persons.

      I`m scared you wont have time for me in helping me to more findings, but you would make me very happy if you did, please.
      With all my heart I thank you on before-hand
      Love

      Roy
