One of my great-grandfathers went by the name of Knut Fjetland, who moved to Iowa from Norway in 1888. His sister, Hannah, located in Minnesota. The family name Fjetland appears to be an anglo form of the name Ffetzana, which was listed as the family name on the 1890 census for Knut and his family. Knut and his wife, Ingeborg, settled in Ellsworth, Hamilton County, Iowa. Knut's sister Hannah married a Swenson (or Swensen) in Minnesota. Knut had children names Paul, Gustave, Conrad, Sophia, Selma (Millie), Dena, Olaf, Henry and Ida. Dena, Olaf, Henry and Ida were born in the USA. The older children were born in Norway. It appears that the family migrated to the USA from Stavanger, Norway. We do not know the name of Knut and Hannah's father.
