For many years I have registered emigrants from Hjelmeland (Hjelmeland, Aardal and Fister), Rogaland - to US. Perhaps about 4000 people left Hjelmeland from harbour of Stavanger. Ca. 1200 is so far located in US. From 1870 several families from Hjelmeland arrived in Laq Qui parle Co. - from area near Ossian, IA - joining pastor Peter Thompson Sandve from Karmoy, Rogaland.
