I have the details of the brother Severt.I have found Severts obituary in Swea City and it this his brother Ole is listed as living in Delevan at the time ( 1952). Ole emigrated in 1908 and arrived at Ellis Island Match 5th 1908 onboard the mf "C F Tietgen".It is also correct that his mothers familyname was Olsen.I would appreciate any additional information regarding the family and descendants of Ole Stangland, that possibly could lead to any living descendants today. Thank you so much, and I am looking forward to hear from you again. Rgrds Hans Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
