My ancestors came from Talgje Island. My gg grandparents were Ole Andersen Gaard and Berta Olsdatter Hoyland. One of their sons(Bertal) came to Ruthven, Iowa. Two other sons came to the Story County, Iowa area - Ole Olsen (my g grandfather) and Andreas (Andrew in America). Children of other brothers (Nils and Andreanus) also came to America and setteled in SD. Some of them were near Arlington, SD. I am interested in family history and would be willing to correspond with anyone with an interest in this branch of the family. Tom Gaard
