Old family in detail

In this story Lloyd takes a jump into a longer travel back in time, to his ancestors and their home places in Norway. He gives us valuable  facts about his mother Anna, his aunt Gina and his uncle John.

They all immigrated to Canada.

When Anna's mother Nikolina Andriana Sandvik died in 1904, the 13 years old daughter got a stepmother who did life miserable for her. Lloyd is sure this made her immigrate to Canada.
