Additional Information:
Bjorgo Brekke was married to Oline Engen in Whitehall, WI in 1889
|
|
|

His father, also from Kviteseid was Anders or Andrew Brekke (sometimes
called Brakke). His mother was Birgit Brekke of Kviteseid. Apparently
several members of the Brekke family emigrated around the same time and
all ended up around
Trempealeau County, WI. Some of his siblings, Charles Brekke, Ole A
Brekke, Torger Brekke and Tom A Brekke, all of Kviteseid.

Anything I can learn about members of this family who still live in and
around Kviteseid would be greatly appreciated. Would love to connect
with someone. Thanks!
