Good day:

My wife found four Norwegian covers, postmarked Sandnes, dating from
1946 which my Mother must have given me. They are likely from a relative
of my Mother's, probably now deceased, as is my Mother. As a
genealogical puzzle, I put .jpg images of the two covers on a web site,
in the hope someone will download them for examination, and provide
information as to the identity of the sender, and any descendants.

The files are quite large "back.jpg" is 4.2 megabytes, "front.jpg" is
2.9 megabytes, so I did not attach them to this email.

The files are located at

and

Any help or assistance will be much appreciated. It's a long shot; I
have to try.

Hi Philip!
Not sure how much help but here's a bit on the return address.
The avs = avsender = sender.
Not sure what that initial is, looks like a u but I doubt it.
The surname seems to be Oftedal.
The Holb. gt. is likely Holbergsgate (Holberg Street). There are undoubtedly
quite a few in Norway and there is one in Sandnes, Aust Agder.
As far as finding descendants, you might look for the Oftedal name in the
telephone book:

Perhaps limit just to Sandnes. But Norwegians have been just as mobile as
elsewhere.

According to the census for eligible voters to the norwegian Storting living
in Sandnes, Holbergsgate 4A in 1953, we have the folloving persons:
Anna Oftedal b.1878, retired.
Astri Oftedal b.1906, cleaningpersonell.
Ella Oftedal b.1916, housewife.
Hanna Oftedal b.1909, housewife.
Olav Oftedal b.1910, mechanic.
Sigurd Oftedal b.1904, bookkeeper.

I hope this will be useful for further studies.
Regards
Arne
