Bestemor's Family

 Of all Sigrid's siblings, only her oldest brother, Lithor, had any children.  He took the surname Loken, which was the name of where the family came from in Eidsvoll, rather than the common Olsen name.  He had two sons, Ragnar, and Bredo.  They were delightful, kind men.  I met both of them as a child.  Ragnar was tall, thin and dignified.  Bredo was broadly built and very down to earth.  Neither of them had any children.  They would come visit the apartment in Mauritz Hansensgate on a regular basis.
