My great-great granpda was the last one born and raised there, his daughter, my great grandma, emigrated to Iowa as a child. My mom thought the city was called Sheehan. But I looked for it and couldn't find anything about it, I'm guessing she got the spelling wrong or something to that effect. Once I know for sure I'll get back to you.
There is a city called Skien in southern Norway. Maybe it was there he lived.? My grandfathers brother and sister emigrated to America around year 1920, unsure where to. Think it was to the west coast. I live in northern Norway.
Thank you, my fellow lad from my home country. I’m on my second bowl already :) Hope to visit Norway some day to see where my ancestors grew up.

Interesting, from where in Norway do you have ancestors? How far back/ generations ? If I understand you right, english is not my strongest skills😊
