I am researching families of Torbjorn J.& Siselia/Cecelia Skien ( my GG-Grandparents). They came to America in 1890 with some of their children, two sons & their families came to America four years before them in 1886, Matthew T. Skien & John T. Skien (my G-Grandfather).
Torbjorn J. Skien b. Apr 1830, Nor; d. 19 Sept 1907, Story Co, IA
Siselia/Cecelia b. Dec 1831, Nor; d. 1908, Story Co, IA
Children all born in Norway:
Matthew T. b. 1857, first marr (?), second marr to Helen (?)
John T. b. 1859, marr 1884, Cecelia (Anfinson) in Norway (my Great-Grndparents)
Bertha b. 1864, marr Bertel Grinde
Belle b. 1867, marr Ole Thorson
Henry b. 1871, marr Martha (?)

I would like to find others who are researching these same families.
Thank You
