Emigrated to Kimballton, IA circa April 1874. Married Claus T Peterson (may be Petersen or Pedersen) of Shelby County. Her brothers were Mads H. Madsen and Hans C. Madsen from Kimballton. Her sister, Anne Sophie married Jens Møller Gregersen. I have a family photo, taken circa 1900, which shows what appears to be the entire Madsen family, their spouses, and offspring, but we can not be certain if one couple is Maren and Claus and their three children. Questions? Did they have three children by 1900? Were two of them perhaps twins or very close in age? What happened to them? Any information would be greatly app0reciated. I would be happy to email the picture for your historical records. Many thanks, Vern Madsen Solvang, CA

I found a John and Rowena Wayne family in the 1885 Iowa state census living in Clay Twp. Listed with them are 2 sons, Charles age 4 and LeRoy age 3. I have a Larmie L. Wayne b Mar 1880 in my database who seems to have landed on earth with no parents. I'm hoping someone may have information which will tell me if LeRoy and Larmie L are the same person. Larmie found in 1920 and 1930 living in Huron, Beadle County, South Dakota. Thanks. Jackie
