Hello, I am searching for relatives of "Charles Richard Torstenson" and "James Edward Torstenson" of New Zealand.

Charles Richard was my Grandfather on my mothers side and James Edward was my great grandfather on my mothers side of the family.

hi OldRelic,

I reckon they didn't talk about Charles Richard Torsetenson because of this:

While His Wife Lay Stricken

I was aware of that and have been for some time.

It doesn't change the fact that I am searching for information on both "Charles" and "James"

Thanks Ray
