Hi Rob and Joe - I'm wondering if Joe's ancestor could be Hans Olson Njos, who came to this country in 1856 and settled first in Dane Co., WI, then went to Mower Co., MN. He financed the trip over for the rest of his family in 1866: his parents, brothers Ole, Andrew, Mikkel and sister Kari. Joe, is your cousin Edith Neus? or Bev Smith? I am in touch with Bev, and if that's the case, you would be my husband's cousin. We have another one about 2 hours away in SC.

Bev lives in Austin Mn. and was a school teacher for many years. After she finished teaching she decided to do a family history.
I have a loose leaf book that she put together. Is that the same Bev Smith?
