When I came across your message I thought for sure I could help you. I grew up in Hegra myself and remember the Kyllo farms. But to my surprise I can't find anyone who fits your query in my book. The closest I can get is a Peder Haakonson Kyllo, born Sept. 21-1816, but it says nothing about him going to America and nothing about his wife's name. He moved from Hegra to Laanke (Lånke) around 1850. His father was Haakon Pederson Kyllo, born Dec. 2-1787, died Aug. 12-1839, married to Randi Nilsdaughter Skårrån. Would you happen to know which farm Peter's wife Gunnhild came from? Perhaps I could look him up there.

My grandfather, John Kyllo, Sr. lived in Lacross, WA but I believe his family came from Trondheim, Norway. I don't know if there's any connection or not. There's been quite a few Kyllos in Lacross, WA and Hayfield, MN. My father was John Kyllo, Jr. who died just last year this December. Who were some of his sibling? Would love to hear from you soon.
