Hello, I am trying to find out about the origins of my family and thought I would give this a try even though the information I have is limited. I am tracking down family members for further information. Supposedly, my g-g-grand-parent, Lars Theigen emmigrated from Norway in 1882 along with his wife to Vernon County, Wisconsin in the U.S.. His wife's last name was either "Olene Olson" or possibly a "Hanson". For some reason, once they arrived in the U.S., they changed their last name to Peterson. I was told that there was a small village by the name of "Theigen" in Norway but don't know if that is actually where they came from. This probably isn't enough information to go on until I able to obtain more, but thought I would try. Thanks for any assistance!
