Hello!
In response to "Calling all Ystenes," I am one! :) My mother's father was Obert Ystenes of Rindal, MN, who was married to Clara Svenby of Bejou, MN. Together they had 13 children, 12 of them who are still living today. These 12 children (my aunts and uncles) live in Minnesota, as well as Montana and Wisconsin.
Needless to say, it is a HUGE, wonderful family! Intresting to read these posts!
