Hi In searching for relatives of my mother's aunt's husband, we found that he was related to Halvorsen folks in the Town of Clayton area of Winnebago Co./Outagamie Co. in Wisconsin. There is some confusion on the names because sometimes they were Halvorsen and sometime Tolversen - Same family..... -----Original Message----- From: Nancy Mills <nancy.mills@worldnet.att.net> To: MNPOLK-L@rootsweb.com <MNPOLK-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, April 08, 2000 11:56 AM Subject: [MNPOLK-L] Halvorsen |Posted on: Polk County Queries |Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk?read=225 | |Surname: Halvorsen, Ryssestad, Rystad |------------------------- | |Looking for information on the following |Halvor Halvorsen b:1837 |Was married to Torbjor Olsdr b:1843 |Their Children were: |Sarah Halvorsdatter b? |Gro Halvorsdatter b: January 02, 1867 d: January 02, 1867 in LESSOR TOWNSHIP, |POLK COUNTY, MN. |Halvor Halvorsen b:1872 |Torei Halvorsdatter b:1879 |Oluf Halvorsen b:1880 |Anne Halvorsdatter b:1884 |Sigrid Halvorsdatter b:1886 | |All were born in Norway. |It appears that they came to America in 1888 and moved somewhere around |Fisher MN and stayed in Polk county. |At some point some changed their last name to RYSSESTAD or RYSTAD. | |Any information would be greatly appreciated.
