Hi,
I just found the exit record from Norway of my g.g. aunt Gro Torstensen on the net. Traveling with her is her husband Knud Thorstensen, and her children, Gulbjørg, Barbro, and Torsten. They came in 1878 and their destination was Trempealeau Wisconsin. Does anyone have any information on this family after they arrived in the U.S.? I don't know how the names would have been Americanised.

This appears to be yours (from the 1880 Census):

Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace
Canute TOSTENSON Self M Male W 33 NOR Farm Laborer NOR NOR
Gro TOSTENSON Wife M Female W 35 NOR House Keeper NOR NOR
Guldborg TOSTENSON Dau S Female W 12 NOR At School NOR NOR
Barbra TOSTENSON Dau S Female W 10 NOR At School NOR NOR
Thursten TOSTENSON Son S Male W 2 NOR NOR NOR

Thanks very much for the information. If there is anyone out there descended from this family, I would love to hear from you.

I still have been unable to locate this family after the 1880 census. I would appreciate any information.
Thanks,
John
