The two sisters came to Wisconsin with their parents and brothers in 1870. I can find the sisters in the 1880 census, living separatly:

Andrine Svarstad, 12. Living in Rising Sun, Crawford, Wisconsin.

Pernille Svarstad, 20. Living in Sterling, Vernon, Wisconsin.

Their brother Anders supposedly married Mari Davidsdatter Hjelle, but I can't find him.

Any suggestions?

I'm a distant relative.
