Re: Searching for relatives in Norway
I was looking thorough some old letters of my grandmother's and found one from a Lina and Theo Visness in Drayton, North Dakota. Some of the letter is in English and some in Norwegian. It was written in 1962. So I was curious who these people were and found a Theodore Visness who died in Kittson Co., Minnesota in 1984 and a Eline Amalie Visness who died in 1970. I have found their birth records on the original records in Norway that are on the internet. It looks to me like Eline's mother was a sister to my grandmother's aunt. I have additional information if you are interested.

Re: Searching for relatives in Norway
Bent, Bernt, or Ben Nybo married Caroline Visness. I thought they had five kids, all born in Hope, ND. I have a picture of Ben and Caroline that was sent to their first son Knute. I'm of the branch of Matthias Kornelius, the fifth son of Knut and Ingeborg; Ben was the fourth. Arne was the third son. A big genealogy was done in 1968, and there was a reunion in 1985. Does anyone have any old photographs? I'm scanning some into my computer.

Re: Searching for relatives in Norway
It sounds like you are referring to Andrew Nybo, whose parents were Arne Knutson Nybo and Ingeborg Karoline Solheim, both of whom were born in Norway. Arne and Ingeborg had seven kids. Arne's parents were Knut and Ingeborg Nybo. Arne came to the US before the rest of the family, most of whom homesteaded around Hope.

Re: Searching for relatives in Norway
Do you have any info re: the big Reunion in 1985? My husband's uncle went to it and has since passed. His children don't have any interest that I am aware of and thus don't have the info from it.

Re: Searching for relatives in Norway
I'm also interested in more information on this, particularly if anyone has old pictures. It was for descendants of Knut and Ingebor and their six sons. It was held in Simmie, outside of Swift Current, Sakatchewan, hosted by some of Ben's descendents.
