Looking for Ole Olausen Lian born about 1860-1865 in Norway and immigrated to USA in 1888 with brothers Syvert Olausen Lian and Thorvald O. Lian. Ole's two brothers went to Minnesota to farm. Believe he was married to a Renhowe born in 1860 at Norway.

Syvert Olausen Lian was my great-grandfather (dad's side). He and Thorvald moved from Borup, MN in 1903/1912 and moved to Washington state. I have lots of info on their post-USA arrival, but not anything before coming. I have an 1884 passenger manifest for Thorvald (Syver came in 1888), 1890s landgrants, Thorvald's 1889 marriage cert and Syvert's 1913 death cert. I have hardly any info on Ole Renhowe, but I have been looking. Contact me directly at grasmussen@delsol.net in Lacey, WA. Gerry Rasmussen

I stumbled across this thread while searching for a family named Lian from Lebanon. I was amazed to see the name also coming from Norway. Is it a common Norway name? Is it possible that my Lians were originally from Norway?

It looks like this is a different family. My grandmother's siblings numbered 10 but no twins. There is a Ole Serensen, born 1884. These siblings were born from Seren Savesen Skuland, born 1850 and Karoline Tobiasdatter, born 1856.
