Posted on: Polk County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/480 Surname: SANDEMOEN, BERGAN, ANDERSEN, OLSDATTER, ANDREASDATTER ------------------------- My SANDEMOEN family came from Norway to the U.S. in 1867 and originally settled in Houston county, MN. The family included: Andreas ANDERSEN SANDEMOEN Eline OLSDATTER SANDEMOEN **Anne Marie ANDREASDATTER SANDEMOEN **Evina (Elvina) ANDREASDATTER SANDEMOEN **Olaus ANDREASSEN SANDEMOEN (my gg grandfather) Sometime in the 1870s, the SANDEMOEN family went to Norman and/or Polk county. Daughter Evina SANDMOEN was married to Louis Lars Bergan in Norman County in 1883, and I believe her mother Eline SANDEMOEN died there in 1907. Olaus had returned to Houston county by 1880, but his 1882 marriage certificate states that he was from Polk county. Since I am not clear as to exactly when my SANDEMOENs were in this area, and I do not know exactly when Polk county land started to be referred to as Norman county, I am posting this message in both counties. I am looking for any SANDEMOEN relations or any information on this family.
