Geir SekseFri 19 June 1998
Hello! My name is Geir Sekse. I am trying to find descendants from the brother and uncle of my granddad.The name of my granddad's brother was Per Jonsson Sekse.He was born in the county Ullensvang, Norway,in the year 1877.He emigrated from Norway in 1902.The reason why i am looking for him in Clackamas county is because we have a picture of him and his wife taken by a photographer in Portland.By incident all the letters from him to his family in Norway was destroyed in a fire many years ago,so we know very little about him after he left his home here.Instead of Sekse he might have used Johnsson for surename.His uncles name was Magnus Jonsson Sekse,and was borned in 1844.He emigrated in 1859.He was wounded in the civil war,and later lived in Silverton,Oregon.I will be very grateful if someone can help me,because i think that i might have more relatives in the U.S.A than i have in Norway! Please respond to this e-mail
