The February issue of "Land-I-Amerika" has an article about the Goplen Family, the farm from which their name comes, and the "Gopla," flowers after which it was named. (See also my other message posted on the Goplen board today.) I also
have ancestors from that part of Norway, and belong to the Landing Lag, which will hold a Stevne at Whitewater, Wisc., this next summer.
I live in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
