There are lots of Churchbooks in the USA, but just like Norway, you have to know what Church they attended. In the 1950's all the Churchbooks were microfilmed to be preserved for future generations. These microfilms are available for a price. :shock:
What are the names and birthdates of your Gorder girls in Chicago? I don't have time to try and find them in a previous post.

Margit.

Thank you very much about information about Henry Alfred Gorder.

Maybe It helps with that information to find more about his brothers and sister.

I do not find any more information. You will need to try and contact his daughter or grandchildren that were listed in the obituary.
