[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] My family is Norwegian on my mother's side. (Stromme.) I believe one set of immigrants in that case were my great grandparents, but it might be a generation further back. (My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Stubjoen.) Anyway, I believe it was sometime early in the 20th century, but I could very easily be wrong. I like krumkake, is all I know. (But I am ambivalent about lefse, and what is with all the fruit soups?) Anyway, my grandfather on this side died before I was born, and my grandmother died in 1985, so I don't have much of a cultural connection, beyond some of the food. I am told I have relatives in Norway who might possibly know who I am, in the "grandson of the daughter of Old Halvor" sense. I'd really like to go there someday. I am not really up on my geneology. As for Sizers, the earliest related Sizer that I know of was actually a French Huguenot living in, I think, Portugal, who traveled to America in the mid 18th century by way of the Azores. Sizer is the Englishization of his family name, which I can't really spell for you, but which sounds sort of like "de Zoshur." I believe Sizer itself is a British name, as there are plenty of Sizers there, none of whom I am related to. The Germanic stuff is mostly from my paternal grandmother's family. (I believe they were from Austria, to be specific.) No one related to me has ever had much clout. [/QB][/QUOTE]
