Looking for descendants of Peter Hamre (b. 1849) and Bertha Hamre who emigrated from Norway to Benson, Swift County, Minnesota about 1880. They had 10 children (9 girls and one boy): Dorothea (Dora?), Nels, Jensine (Sina), Lena, Bessie, Ella (?), Rikka (Ragnhild?), Petra, Minnie, and Laura. Tough to track as only the one boy who had one child, a daughter. Actually Nels became quite famous for photographing Norwegians in America. Surnames listed are the married names for the girls
