You are probably right. It is interesting tho, that they came from the same place in Norway. My great-grandfather Knut came to this country during the Civil War and actually served for awhile in a Wisconsin regiment. I forgot to mention that he also lived in Emmett County Iowa, which is where my grandfather, Helge was born.That county is bordering Minnesota I think. Grampa had a brother named Lars and don't really know too much about him. They were all born in the 1880s and 90s. They later moved down near Mobridge, SD and then Grampa homesteaded in Northwestern SD about 1902. Probably not the same but interesting. Enjoyed hearing from you. Where do you live? Holly
