\"\"Diane Enger Snell, i<\/strong>n the blog\u00a0Genealogy is an Obsession,\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>share a lot of interesting stories about her family who emigrated from Norway.

The Hannah Parr left Norway in April 1868 and was battered in a storm\u00a0just off the coast of Limerick, Ireland. I am not going to spoil anything so I just suggest you read the story\u00a0The Tragedy and Triumph of the “Hannah Parr”<\/a><\/p>\n
