I have an Ellen Isrealson in my tree. She was from Norway ( I think) and came to Northern MN in the 1890's. She is my 2nd great grandmother and I am struggling to find out anything about her family. My grandmother who is in her late 80's is alive and still has some stories about her but very little on her family.
Ellen married Nils Langseth ( also from Norway) and they had a farm in Northern MN. They also spent about 10 years in Canada ( around 1911) and then headed back to MN.
