I'll enter ' Reidar Bakke ' in the basic 'Personsøk' search and see what happens. Surprisingly there are several different Reidar Bakkes come up, but a slow scrawl down the list finds our Reidar Toralf Bakke , born 1892, in a Christiania census in 1900. FOLKETELLING 1900 FOR KRISTIANIA KJØPSTAD Grønlandsleret 1 (note: this street in Grønlands sydlige congregation) Adolf Olsen Bakke b.1859 in Christiania, Snedkersven ved Stadsbanen (joiner journeyman with the city's railway/railway station?? - might become clearer later) Helga Sofie Bakke b.1887 in Christiania, unmarried, daughter Reidar Toralf Bakke b.1892 in Christiania, unmarried, son Karl Gustav Fritjof Bakke b.1882 in Christiania, unmarried, son, Snedkerlæling (apprentice joiner...
