To the best of my knowledge, we have a small mystery in my geneology...my grandfather on my Dad's side (whose Mom was full Norwegian) never told him who his Dad was. I think she married someone after he was born, and all we know is that the missing dad was a sailor of some sort. I'd have to do some checking to be more sure of that story...but we've sometimes speculated as to the sailor's nationality.

I think it's probably less exciting than that...he was prolly just a Norwegian fisherman rather than some dashing young captain. ;)

I'm thinkin' that the little lady might not have referred to him as "just a Norwegian fisherman" she mighta seen a little more romance in him than that! Come on, use your imagination! I can see how that could be a little hot under the circumstances....
