Minneota, MN Icelanders
To any looking for Minneota Icelandic ancestors,
I have been trying to accumulate information on both the ancestors and descendants of each of the 1,000+ Icelanders that settled near Minneota, MN in Yellow Medicine, Lyon, and Lincoln Cos. for the last 20-30 years.I have recently downloaded a large amount of that information to a public (open) file on ancestry.com entitled Josephson-Icelanders.
I would encourage any whose info is incomplete on their Minneota ancestors to get on ancestry.com and access my file.I think it will require the user to sign on with a temporary membership, which is free for 2 weeks and then can be discontinued.
If anyone finds any errors, please feel free to contact me.
Good luck with your research,
Dr. Thor Swanson

Josefson and Gudny Hofteig of Westerheim Twp., Lyon Co., and great-great grandson of Sigbjorn Sigurdsson Hofteig, Steinun Magnusdottir Hofteig, Vigfus Josephson, and Sigurbjorg Hjalmarsdottir Josephson- all early Icelandic settlers of the Minneota, MN area.
