Hello Erik! I've been trying to make the connection with my families who lived in Norway Township. Immigrated to U.S. in 1871 and settled just south of Romsdal Church. The old farm name in Norway was Nipen. Johannes Monsen Nipen changed his name to John M. Johnson when he homesteaded in Norway Township. He, his sons Nils Monson and Mons Johnson also had farms south of Romsdal Church as did his daughters who married John (Jack) Nelson and Ole Ingebritsen and Engel Erickson. In 1900 my great great grandfather John M. Johnson was living on his farm with John and Marie Twedt. When he died in 1908 one of the informants was a Sivert Twedt. I see from the plat maps that there were a few Twedt families in the township from way back. Thanks, Sue

I'm also researching a Twedt who lived on a farm in Norway Township, SD.

Conrad B. Twedt was living with his parents, Carl and Berthe Twedt, and his brothers and sisters, in 1900, on the family farm in Norway Township. He was aged 3 years. In 1917, he had moved to Fergus Falls, MN, where his father was living. (No mention of the rest of the family,as this was his draft registration.) Unfortunately, no Jacob was living with this family in 1900.

He married in 1927 Mildred Larson, whose parents came from Romsdal, and Kristiansund, Norway. Evidently, that was where his parents originated, too.

Conrad and Nildred had a daughter, Joyce, and later a son named Roger.

If anyone has information on the family, or believes there's a link, it would be great to hear from you!

Julia (whose husband is related to Mildred Larson Twedt)

My grandparents were Rudolph A Twedt and Anna Severson Twedt who also lived in the Norway Township and owned more than one farmstead. My uncle Roy Twedt and Frances Hartmann Twedt's homestead was the homeplace and my Aunt Carol Twedt Van Buskirk and Uncle Lloyd Van Buskirk lived on one homeplace and my father Wayne A Twedt and mother Darlene J Collins Twedt lived on the other 80 acres east of them about 4 miles. Rudy & Anna Twedt are buried at Lands Lutheran Church (Moe Parish?) Cemetery just 2-3 miles north and 1 mile east of Norway Township as well as a daughter Maxine Hild Twedt and my son Marcus Wayne Kruid.

There is a Roger Twedt who still lives in Lincoln Co. south of Trinity Church in Eden Twn. His son Paul farms the farm and also lives there.

Sue,

I am sorry that none of the twedt name you are looking for ring a bell. I come from the Ole T Twedts in section 15 and 14. Oles dad was Thomas Twedt.
