I'm a descendant of the Norwegian Pioneers of Minnehaha County who had come from Meraker in Nord-Tronderlag, Norway. In fact, my ancestors were the very first ones to migrate from Meraker to America in 1854. One of my ancestors was the very first ever to file for a homestead in the Mapleton township of Minnehaha County in 1866. I believe you've heard this information before, haven't you? Yes, if you guess I am Donald Nelson, you're correct. Hei Ardell.................. Donald
