Thankyou, thank you for your help, Jack Bowman. I was so happy to get your message with all the info. Of course, that leads to more questions! Do you know where in Wisc Guri Rear was born? Since her father died in Argyle, WI, was she born there?

I also remember seeing a posting once about Nord Aurdal being the place in Norway that the Rears came from. I am planning to go to Norway this summer and would like to visit the area. So, do you know anything about this? I guess I am asking if you have more information about the Ole Rear and Inger Iversdatter ancestry that you are willing to share. Again, thank you very much. joysundrum@hotmail.com
