Have you seen this Rootsweb site
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&...
It has an amazing amount of information. I am interested in finding my great grandmother Emma Hoff or Huff who was born in Iceland in 1872 and emigrated in 1882 to Minnesota. I believe she lived Southwest Minnesota with her parents at some point, but have not been able to find any link. She married Ole A (Iverson) Trana (Norway b 1867), son of Tobias Trana (Norway 1835) who at one time lived in Nordland, Minnesota. they lived in Clarissa, Minnesota in Todd County. She died sometime between 1902 and 1908. Iceland is recorded on the census record from 1900 as her birthplace.
