In regards to the family discussed in the following topic:

I wonder if somone could check any Minnesota censuses for Sofie Marie Melby.

She emigrated in 1887 ( approx). At the time, she listed her destination for "Madison". As I understand, there is a Madison in Minnesota.

But the reason that I search for Sofie in Minneapolis, is a remark on her brother Harald's immigrationpapers on Ellis Island in 1898.

I can not interpret her last name, it is not Melby, but I think it starts with a "K". Can anyone help me find Sofie?
