CCHOLTER:
I am starting a new folder on my computer.
My mother, 96, is currently living at a retirement home in Brookings SD.
A few years ago, I purchased a book for MOM “The Story of a Lifetime” .. A keepsake of personal memories.
I gave her this book at one point for her to write her memoirs. She wrote her answers on a three ring binder.
I am going to write her answers in this folder, using Microsoft Word. The full URL (web address) will be

To all you liberals, nay Sayers, etc. , just ignore this web page, ok?
My mother’s memoirs follow:
Q: If your ancestors emigrated from another country, from where did they come? When? How did they come? Where did they settle and why?
A: My Bergh ancestors came from Skiptvedt, Smaalevenees (sp?) , Amt , (sp?) Norway. They came in 1860. They traveled six weeks by boat. They settled in Red Wing, Minn area. – ccholter –
NOTE: My mother’s handwriting at times is rather shaky. I will do my best in transcribing. – myron@myownfaith2.com -- ALSO – Mom wrote her memoirs while she was still residing in Bruce SD. I would like to believe these memoirs were written 10 years ago or so. Mom did not post any dates on her notes.
