They did not go all at the same time, and they were 11 children. The parents with the two youngest children go to Rock county in 1888. I have found the parents buried at Flowerfield cemetery in Hills, and believe that a number of their children were also living in that area. I also know that part of the family called themselves Sandbo or Sandbu for a while after going to the US. Below is what I have on this family. I am looking for information about descendants.
