Look this over Byron and let me know what you think. I think we can get alot more info here and your people were in the same area as some of mine (Stavenger, Norway and came to the same place as mine in Illinois)...prob a very good chance we are related but will have to do more digging. Pressed for time right now but if you like you can email me personally at [email protected]
If you don't have ancestry I can make copies of the censuses and things and either email to you or send snail mail if you like.
Let me know.
Jodi
