I am sorry for the loss of your mother. I have a rather odd question for you? Was your father by any chance related to a man named Oscar E. Brager who was born in Wisconsin? He married Anne Christine Wold in Wisconsin and for a while they lived in Canada, they also farmed near Leeds, ND. Oscar had relatives in Canada. My father Austin Oscar Brager was their son. Is there any chance we are related? I grew up in East Grand Forks, MN; my dad died in 1978. Sharon A. Brager Fowler 1051 Airport Dr. Lehi UT 8404307/25/2011 12:21 AM
