I have all the children you listed, but had Barbara or Barbro as Knute's first wife because of a census that lists that. I believe Knute's first wife died shortly after Betsy was born. Now I can search for Ellen Torgerson and see if I can find a death certificate for her. I live in Freeborn County so I don't have far to go to do the research. Time seems to be my problem. I would also love to compare notes. My Great Grandmother was Julia Thelina Torgerson Tuberg. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
