I am looking for information connecting Hermund Lassesen Brekke with an Ole Dyrdahl family.
Hermund L. Brekke immigrated in 1879. He was born in Sogn og Fjordane, Norway in 1853 and raised his family in Rice County, Minnesota. His wife was Martha and they had Louis, Ella, Pearl, Tillie and Herman (between 1882 and 1894).
I have acquired an old family album and within is a picture taken in Owatanna, Steele County, MN - probably taken in 1880-1900. The picture is labeled "The Ole Dyrdahl family -- a distant relative to H. L. Brekke". The family picture looks like a mother with 3 older boys and 3 young girls. Hard to tell, but the boys look at least to be teenagers, but probably not older than mid-20s. The girls all look younger - not yet teenagers.
I have looked on the Digitalarkivet in Sogn og Fjordane but have not found a family to leave Norway with these dynamics.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
