My great-grandfather John Backstrom came to the US from Trondheim, Norway with his wife and son Martin Backstrom. Martin Backstrom, my grandfather, first married Amanda and then my grandmother Kate. Kate Backstrom's maiden name was Ala-Tarvis and she came from Finland. However, it was changed to just Ala when she came to the US. Anyone with information regarding my family, please e-mail me.
