I am looking for infomation on Elling Hermundson and his wife Sigri Olsdatter who settled in Arendahl, Fillmore County,MN. They came to America in 1860. Sigri Olsdater was born on May 26, 1816 in Skitviki farm, Leikanger parish, Sogn, Norway. Elling was born on Austreimsli farm, Kyrkjebo, Sogn, Norway on June 25, 1830. She had 4 children - Lars Johanneson born 7-12-1844, Ole Johanneson born 10-20- 1849, Gjertrud Johannesdatter born 10-13- 1850 and Randi Johannesdatter born 3-20-1852. Sigri and Elling had two daughters - Anne Ellingsdatter born 1-11-1857 and Johanna Ellingsdatter born 9-7-1859. I think they took the name Hermanson, but Lars and Ole may have taken the name Johannes or Johnson. I think I have found them in the 1870 census listed as Alex and Sarah Hermanson with Annie, (Gertrud)Jane and Amanda - no mention of Johanna.
