Iverson from Norway, lived in the USA

[Ruokoja]

Hi,

Mr Bert Iverson moved from Norway to the States - or his parents came from Norway to the States.. This mysterious man is a question mark.

Actually I just know that he married Elsie River/Rivers, a daughter of Vihtori (Victor) River who was my greatgrandpa's brother.

Are there any hints and tips for me where I could find more information?

Hi there, Bert and Elsie Iverson are my grandparents. I never knew Bert as he was gone by the time I was born. His father is Oscar. Unfortunately my father is older and doesn't have many details about Bert and Oscar. I have been curious to know more history about him and his side of the family, where in Norway they are from etc. We do know a bit about Elsie's side of the family and their Finish roots (Rouvola?). I hope to hear back from you.
