Hello. I have try too find this relatives for many years now, the last i know is from a
letter his mother write home too Norway, and say he is west in Nevada, they was living in
Virginia, Minnesota, this was in the end of 1925, begining 1926. His name was Sivert
Johnsen ( Sivert Olsen Viggen) he got this Johnsen name after his stepfather Ole Johnsen.
Sivert was born in Norway 2.2.1886. Came too Usa in 1902. He was working as a locomotive
engineers in 1910-17 in Virginia, mines. I will think he also was working as a locomotive
engineers in Nevada, and came in the first of the 1920, and I will think he work like this
also too the 1930. Any info or wher I can look for some Locomotive engineers, maybe in
some mines? ( If ther was some in Nevada) also lookups as census, obits etc, for this
Sivert have been great
