Stu, My Norwegian Columbia Co., WI family names are REIERSON and GUNDERSON. They settled in Lowville (Rio). What names are you researching? My Reiersons/Gundersons are from the time period you are researching. I have family in Columbia Co and I go there several times a year. I plan a trip to the cemetery at Bonnet Prairie Lutheran Church, Rio this spring (I live about 4 hours away.) Also, my grandfather has a Columbia County history book with about 300 pages of family histories. If your Norwegians were in Rio or Lowville, I bet we connect somewhere. Barb Pahlow
