Bygland Luthern Church is now and has always been located South of East Grand Forks. I think you have this mixed up. I have forwarded this message to my brother in law who is a member there. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Raymond <jraymond651@AOL.COM> To: <MNPOLK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 07, 2000 5:19 PM Subject: [MNPOLK-L] Byland Lutheran Church > Posted on: Polk County Queries > Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/346 > > Surname: Olson > ------------------------- > > Bygland Lutheran Church was north of East Grand Forks, Polk County, on > Hiway 220.
