Welcome…
I have been gathering videos, photos and
genealogy documents over the past
several years. I decided to redesign my
website and wish to share these with
family & friends.
The following is a summary of what you
will find using the links above.
Homestead: My grandfather’s
immigration journey from Norway that
began in 1910.
Norway: Photo videos of my 2001, 2006,
2013 and 2019 visits with family in
Norway.
Family: My dad’s 8mm family movies
from the 1960’s and 1970’s. I have
converted these films to digital. I have
also included some more recent family
videos.
Izzy: A tribute to Izzy, our best friend for
14 years.
Jeannette: A close friend that Liz and I
cared for 2016 to 2021.
Bustietown: The area east of Effie, MN
where my grandfather homesteaded was
often referred to as Bustietown. Many of
my friends have written articles about
early life in and around Bustietown and
have allowed me to share them with you.
Travels: Videos and photos of events,
landscape during my travels, often by
motorcycle, throughout the United
States.
Genealogy: I have been working family
genealogy since the mid 1980’s. I will
begin by sharing what I have gathered on
the Erickson/Hofstad families. As time
permits, I will begin sharing what I have
gathered on the Topping/Nero families.
This is a work in progress. I will continue
to add information and documents.
Norway Family: A brief introduction to
our family in Norway.

After reading “Chris Marcotte Writes”, I felt the
need share. Chris focuses on “Unique people and
places and situations of Itasca County between
1890-1930. Please take a look…
