Richard Finwall Stokke Feb 26, 1916 - Sep 22, 1987 Bellevue, Washington

From 3rd grade on, I was best friends with Karen Stokke. Her father was Richard 'Dick' Stokke, a well known Seattle area disc jockey, who also performed in a local theater. When I met Karen, her parents were divorced, so I only met 'Mr. Stokke' occasionally as Karen and her brothers (all 4) lived with their mother in the U District in Seattle. Mr. Stokke was a larger than life figure to us-funny, kind, accomplished..and when he was around he would tell us stories about being on stage, about folks he met through radio, and draw cartoons. One year for Halloween Karen and I dressed up as a two-headed monster, and Mr. Stokke did our facial makeup with his theater make-up case. Karen adored her father, and her Norwegian roots.

My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships. The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.
