About this website

This website is first of all meant to cover some of the Stokke families that I am related to. My great-grandmother Gunda Helene Ekeli, née (Ragnhildrød) Hansen, was born in Stokke. Most of her father's family can also be traced from Stokke, including Helgerød and Døvlen. You will also find some information about other Stokke genealogy at this page.

    Helga Donahue

    My dad's cousin gave me a few years back a little paper with the name Helga Donahue and the address RFD Box 2145 Eureka, CA, USA. I think she is somehow related to my relatives who lived at Ragnhildrød (Jacob Larsen or his father-in-law Anders Olsen), but I am not sure. Could be related to Hybbestad in Tjølling [Larvik] as well. When I visited Eureka back in 2000, I found her name in an old telephone directory (don't remember which year it was published, though), so I think she lived quite a while after the war. I have also found the names of Helga Donahue and her husband Louis C. Donahue in this document:

    I haven't found either names in the Social Security Death Index. If anyone should have information about the couple, please contact me at dagtho@yahoo.com.
