Surnames: Christoffersen/Holter/Roen/Rindahl Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wIB.2ACI/233 Message Board Post: I've run across this name several times in researching my family, g grandfather Ole Joh. Rindahl. Anne had a homestead in Section 14 but settled in Arctander Township. (There was a land grant for Elleng Christophersen in Section 29 - related?) Anne was a widow, according to 1880 census, and her children had the surname "Holter". One of her children became a pastor, and I've "buried" the articles I found pertaining to him. If anyone has information about her situation, why she moved, or her family/friends in Norway Lake, I would love to hear about her.I have a wedding photo, in one old family album, of a couple which my mother made a note of shortly before she died in 1993. She marked it "Esther Roen - Mr. and Mrs. Holter (or Wolter?). The other album, from the Rindahl side I believe, has a photo marked "Esther Roen and Hilda", Hilda being a young girl. I haven't been able to find any references to Esther or Hilda, so any clues would be welcome.
