I found the emigration of Zacharias Fremling from Norway in 1882.

Zacharias is traveling with the Stjerna family, who went to near Alexandria, to Holmes City, Minnesota in Douglas county.

I am having a dickens of a time trying to find any records on them when they were living in Norway. Have you found any documentation (besides what I found below) to give any hint about where in far Northern Norway they lived?
