Norway - Odd Josephsen

[Erica Rae]

Good afternoon,

If anyone could assist me, I would be most grateful.

I have just received the DNA results for my father-in-law and its seems he is 35% Norwegian. He grew up in Cape Town. We think it must have been his maternal grandfather who was Norwegian. Family history has it that his mother (Sarah Johanna ENGELBRACHT) was born in Saldanha, Cape Town but adopted at a young age. Her father was possibly a whaler.

I have zero details on Sarah Johanna's mother, but think there may be a link (via DNA) to a Norwegian called Odd JOSEPHSEN b. 15 October 1891 in Aust-Agder, Norway, but i can find no information on Odd.

I would most grateful for any help?

Warmest regards, Erica Rae
