Hi -
These names look like they could be Swedish - your Kjerstre is probably Kjersti or
Kjerstin. What other information do you have about the parents? Do you have approximate
birth dates or ages for them? Do you know when and where they died? Do you know when and
where they married? Unfortunately, the names are very common, so the more information you
can get from U.S. records, the easier it will be to locate them overseas. With birth
dates, it might be possible to find the parents on the Emibas CD (made from extracts from
the Swedish parish records about persons who intended to emigrate).
Regards -
Mark Johnson
