1860 Dane County Census--Nelson or Stedje
I'm looking for a site where the 1860 Census is available to research.I'm searching for Erick(Erik) Nielson Stedje b.6 Nov 1816; wife Kari b. 22 Jan 1813; son Jens b.26 Sept 1854 Sogndal, Norway. Left Norway 1856 as Erick N. Stedje (wife Kari, two sons--Jens and Niels b. 16 May 1853.
1865---Erick, wife Mary, son Charles are found in Minnesota in 1865 (ages match). They are using Nelson for their last name. No mention of the other son Niels.
1875---They are still there in 1875 with the last name of Nelson (Mary has changed to Maria and Charles is changed to Carl).
Family memories seem to have them in Dane or Ashland counties when they arrived--1856-1865 are missing years.Also don't know if the other child died on voyage or during the missing 9 years.Any help is greatly appreciated.
