Classification: Query
Surnames: Halvorslien, Lyseng, Lysing
I would like to find out where this family settled after arriving in America in 1868. Before they and 3 sons, Erick, Knud and Albert moved to this county they were living in Big Stone County, Minnesota; however, have not found them in the 1870 and 1880 censuses. My great grandfather, Simen Olsen (all of these folks from Gausdel Parish, Oppland County, Norway) was traveling with them and family history states that Simen died shortly after arriving and is buried near Northfield. There is both a Northfield, Minnesota and a Northfield, Wisconsin so don't know which place. Just possibly it was where this family was living in 1870. Does anybody have any information about the Lysengs. Their names on the passenger list was Knud Ingebretsen Halvorslien and Marit Eriksdatter (where did the name Lyseng come from, I don't know. Or maybe Simen did not follow them after arriving in America - who knows. Thank you.
