There was an Ole Ostenson in Franklin, Vernon Co., WI in 1875 but it doesn't give enough information to know if it is your man. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11540-17212-99?cc=1443778 Annette On 3/19/15, wigglesandwags via <norway@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > > > Sent from my U.S. Cellular® Smartphone > > > -------- Original message -------- > From: "Lars E.

Dear Annette and other Listers! Thanks a million, Annette, for an interesting message! Although the 1875 WI state census doesn't tell us very much, it may indeed be "our" Ole, in the middle of other emigrant families from Luster Co., Norway. Franklin township of Vernon Co., WI is fact one of the very most important settlement places of emigrants from Luster Co., Norway! However, many of the early settlers "went on west"; if we only knew where to... Thanks again, Annette, for your great assistance! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.
