May 1, 1967
Dear Keith and your family,
I first read your letter today and I was glad that there was someone in our family in the USA who wanted to learn Norwegian. Thus we can in this manner hold the connection between our families and that we can tell each other about that which is interesting. Because I know in reality so little about my father's sisters who emigrated to the USA from Norway at the turn of the century during the hard and poor times which were in Norway during that time. The USA was that time as now free times land (translation?). My father's sisters were Gunhild born January 2, 1868, Siri (Sara) Dec 29, 1864, Maria January 3, 1872, Sigrid Jan 15, 1874, Gudbrand Nov 18, 1876, Elsie May 31, 1880, Erik (my father) May 27, 1883, Anne Marie March 4, 1886. Strange it is to think that of these brothers and sisters there is only father who is still alive. He will now be 84 years old this May. His health is quite good; ________ he was in the hospital for a hernia operation that was successful and was away only 8 days. My mother died three years ago. She was then 80 years old. Mother was from Sogn in the West. She was a strong and beautiful woman, whom I miss very much but I am glad we _________ as long as we had. Your father's sister Elna visited us the summer before last. It was a visit we all were very happy about and valued very much. Some difficulty with the language we had, but then it was so fortunate that our __________ son in law Herman was here during that time and he spoke the language, therefore it was surely so lucky. I think you, Keith, are already very able in writing Norwegian. I hope you will write to me again. I am already looking forward with pleasure now to getting letters from you. I have of course read much about your country and seen on television different reports from the USA. A land of adventure where people from all countries of the world emigrated and have now ________though several generations and become one people - one nation. You Keith are the third generation and can be called a genuine American. I am glad that you want to learn Norwegian. I am the next oldest sone of your father's uncle Erik. I am married to Ingegjerd whose maiden name is Sorlie. Her father was in the USA for 5 years before he married Gunhild from Grov (?) My wife also has many relatives in the USA. We have 2 children (daughters). The youngest 20 years Edith shall now in July marry Herman Lia. He is 25 years old and is trained as a electronics engineer and works for the Tanaborg firm in the developmental laboratory. Our oldest daughter 25 years old is at home a works for me as a telephone secretary. I have been working for a long time to gather light on my father's family on father's side. And when I get more together, I believe you also would be glad to have that, which I shall promise to sent you. I should also like to wwrite to your father, but I can't unfortunately in English - but if he will write to me in English then shall my son-in-law read it for us. Your father's grandmother (also mine) Marit Digene died in 1933. I remember her very well. Your father's mother surely has many letters from her. I think you should inquire if there are some who have kept them and you could read these I suppose and in this manner get an impression of her and the _________ which was between the children in the USA and the family here in Norway. The closest ancestor I have here in Norway is a daughter of father's brother Gudbrand. Margit married Tidemann Ruud. So you understand I set a large price on making contacts with my relatives in the USA. I have only one first cousin yet here in Norway on father's side now after my cousin Martin Digene died 2 years ago. He had no children in his marriage. I have 2 brothers. The oldest Einer is residing in Oslo and has 2 children. My youngest brother Melvin is also married and has 4 children.
Give my regards to all your family. Hope you will write to me again. Greetings from Andreas Digene
