Not so simple as I thought, but here is a start. Ardell, if you read this, can you confirm my info and even add more? Randi H(alvorsdatter) Nyhus was born to Halvor T. Nyhus (1836 - 1912) and Sigrid Tostensd. Kylloplads (1833 - 1897) Halvar (Halvor) emigrated in 1864 (or -65) and Sigrid in 1865. They might have travelled together, maybe they already were married. There is not so easy to find any emigration information, due to the lists starting in 1869. Halvar and Sigrid had 4 children: Torger (died as a child) Anne (Mrs. John Zachariason Meraker) Torger Randi Anne and John had eleven children. Torger married Maria Eliasdaughter Husby and they had eleven children. Randi has been married twice, first with Ole E. Dalenes with whom she had 6 children. And the second marriage with Iver Hanson Lilleelven and they had 9 children. Most of the information comes from the "Norwegian Pioneers History of Minnehaha County", Swerdrup Township, pages 471/444. But some also from my local books. More to come... Ragnar in Hell
