Sadly we aren't related family but perhaps we will help someone else some day. Not only did many Norwegians come to Michigan, Minnesota and North Dakota to settle------my own father's grandparents came into North Dakota from Canada having previously traveled all the way from Scotland and England. Canada provided a home to so many emigrants-----thank God for them Good wishes to you on your search. Bonnie.
