    3. Dear Listers! Another "big challenge" for you, which I have tried to solve for years: Peder Ludvigson Walager aka Peter Ludwigson aka Peter Walker was born in Hafslo parish, Luster Co., Norway Mar. 11, 1833, the oldest son of Ludvig (Nitter) Larson Walager and Britha Pedersdotter Marum. Peter emigrated as a single man to Wisconsin in 1870. When his brother Lars Walager's estate was settled in Norway in 1884, Peter was said to reside at DANE STATION, WI, which I presume must be in or near Dane township in Dane Co., WI, possibly in Lodi, Columbia Co., WI. When Peter emigrated in 1870, he was accompanied by his nephew, his sister Karen's only child: Anders aka Andrew Olson or Walager or Walker, born in Hafslo parish, Luster Co., Norway Feb. 20, 1853. Any chance these two men can possibly be located in US records? Maybe passenger lists? Maybe newspaper items? Thanks a million in advance for any suggestions! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane
