Also see . . . Isak Leiser Isaksen (snublestein.no, in Norwegian). Sonja Isaksen has no webpages dedicated to her, and so her story is told here using the snublestein.no page of her husband. Excerpt (in translation):

Isak was a trained tailor and came to Norway in 1898. In 1903 he married Sonja Rebekka Krim (born 1884 in Latzkowa). Isak and Sonja had four children, all born in Oslo: Esther (born 1903), Aron (born 1905), Herman (born 1908) and Ragnhild (born 1912). Isak had his own tailoring business at Stenersgata 18 in Vaterland in Oslo. The business was doing well and in 1916 he bought Johannesløkken farm in Anton Tschudis vei in Risløkka in Oslo. The Isaksen family first used the house as a summer residence, but moved here
