Recently found out the name in the Bible is SHANK, not SKANKe. Herman Jhanson came to WA from ND where he m. Bertha Florence Sweet McCauley. Austads were/are in ND and one was in MN. It is believed that a sister Anna remained in Norway. Herman's ss app. says he was born in Hyls or Hyla, Norway. I wrote to some Austads in ND back in abt 1972, but they didn't have the courtesy to write back. Anyone have input on any of these names? Herman's oldest son, Arden Herman Jhanson had 2 sons--1 is in WA and 1 is in MI; 1 dau. His youngest son had 6 sons--1 died after birth; 2 daus.--1 died after birth.
