The story of a Norse family who came to America in the 1890's. In the Horse and Buggy Days. October 15, 1899 - December 28, 1996. She left heirlooms and photos, and also some memories in the form of letters which she sent to me during her last years when she was living in Everett, Washington. She was a quiet, unpretentious person that you might not think of as someone who was capable of living in a wilderness where she might open her cabin door and find herself saying hello to a bear. In those early year...

However, Grandpa had other things to do and he didn't always have time for me. I had to work hard to get his attention. My parents ran a chicken farm. We had 10 acres, there wa...

http://danielborgstromgrytnes.blogspot.com/2010/08/aristocrat-in-poverty.html
The story of a Norse family who came to America in the 1890's. An aristocrat in poverty. Aunt" Olivia was the daughter of Adolf Høstmark, my grandfather's uncle. Like the rest of the family in Norway, Adolf was a gentleman, a sort of minor aristocrat.

Half a century later, in 1938, my mother (daughter of Sigurd Grytnes) sojourned on Bainbridge Island, and used to spend her weekends wit...

My grandfather had never met the writer, but had seen his name, ...

People of Grytnes: The Protagonists
http://danielborgstromgrytnes.blogspot.com/2009/01/protagonists.html
The story of a Norse family who came to America in the 1890's. The stories on this site are about a Norse family that came to America in the 19. This file presents the cast of characters, or, as some might call it: "the family tree.". These are my ancestors, my grandparents and their grandparents, grand uncles and aunts and cousins. I like to call them the Dramatis Personae, because after all, these are the people the stories are about. I should say a bit about the names. And many have the same first name.
