I doubt there is a connection here, but one never knows:
I have minimal info on Iver Lybeck 1827-1909, and Karen 1829-1911
Some of my great-great-grandparents, but can't find any other traces.
They emigrated to the US and somewhere near Red Wing, MN, sometime after 1856, and I believe Iver may be the person behind some land records that are "pay only" on ancestry com, in MN. Iver's daughter Johanna (1856-11932) married my great grandfather Thor Ellingson (1854-1938), meeting him in Red Wing where she worked at a hotel, they were married in 1877, moved to Ellsworth Wisc, then Kenyon MN, and, finally, Mott ND and Valley City ND.
Their daughter Hilda Annette (Ellingson) Oleson Holmes was one of my grandmothers.
