Wow, sounds like some great information - my father's UGSTAD family all settled in Minnesota and North Dakota, with many settling in the Duluth area. Could you possibly share the info you have on those families? I would greatly appreciate it!

I see you are also researching some German ancestry - some of my birthmother's family came from the Bischmisheim area of Germany (around Saarbrucken) and I have a book with info on people living in the area before 1900. If you have any family from this area, I'd be happy to do lookups.

Thanks,
