The things that I know for sure are few but they are these: 1. Around 1912 he lived on his family's farm. 2. His family's farm was by Canton, Stanley Township, Barron County, WI, U.S.A. 3. He immigrated to the U.S.A. from Norway. I do not know, unfortunately, how old he was back then but I'm pretty sure that the farm that he lived on was his father's farm. I would appreciate ANY little piece of information that I might receive, no matter how trivial it may seem, since that is all of the information that I have. Thank You, David

David, Do you know where in Norway he was from? I also have a Maier/Myer from Norway. He was born in E. Toten. He came to the US & farmed in Fillmore Co., Minnesota. I don't know if he lived anywhere else in the US before then or not. He went by the last name of Olsen/Olson for a short while too. I believe his father's name was Ole Olsen & his mother's name was Marie, but I'm not sure of those facts. I've never learned if my Haaken/Haakon Myer had any siblings or not. My Haakon was born April 30, 1852. When was yours born? If you don't know then maybe you could find the 1910 census records & see if he was still living on his family's farm. If he was you will have an "approximate" age/birth year for him. To me the name "Myer' is a farm name. If it is the same farm it was spelled "Majer" & was located in Øster Toten, Norway. Let me know.
