About the Book

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-toss to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door." In 1883, my 23-year-old great grandfather, Rasmus Lundene, left Trondheim, Norway and set off to a new life in Ishpeming, Michigan. A few months after Rasmus left, his pregnant wife, Sigri Rian Lundene also left Trondheim with their infant daughter Anna and joined him in that small mining town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. They settled in Ishpeming where Rasmus began working in the Cleveland Iron Ore Mine. In the Fall of 1886, when they were expecting their fourth child, Rasmus was suddenly killed in a horrific mining accident. By November of 1886, Sigri found herself as a single mother of four children under the age of five. The fourth child born after Rasmus' death was my grandmother, Randi (Rannie) Lund. In 1901, my 23-year-old grandfather, Karl August Loström left Grängesberg, Sweden accompanied by his teenage sister, Alma, left their home country to also start a new life in Ishpeming, Michigan. There were four other direct ancestors who also came to the United States: the parents of Rasmus (in 1888) and the parents of August (1902). In total seven direct ancestors made the similar, but arduous journey to the new world. Somehow, my grandparents met in Ishpeming, moved to Virginia, Minnesota, got married and raised a family of eight. One of those kids was my mother. This book is about these people and the many people who came before them. In fact, I have identified 345 direct ancestors and have been able to discern brief stories about a few of them. Also included in this book is some back ground information of the regions in Norway and Sweden where these ancestors lived as well as some general history of the Scandinavian peninsula all the way back to the end of the last Ice Age and much more. In addition, I end the book with a description of Seven GuidePosts that other "family storytellers" might want to incorporate as they begin writing their own "Glimpses."
