Who came to America, Part 2

Today, I want to talk about the rest of the brothers and sisters of our Iver Vangsness - the first member of our Vangsness family to come to America.

To refresh, the children of Endre Hansen, Lee, Nissestad and Kari Vikingsdatter, Møorkve:

In the previous entry, I talked about who came to America.

I detailed information for:
Iver Endreson Nistad (our Iver Vangsness),
Wiking Endreson and
Hans Endreson, Nistad Dale.

Today, in this entry, I will go over the rest of the children.

John Endreson born in 1804, emigrated in 1870 to Kenyon, MN when he was 65.

I do not know when his wife, Ragnhild Hohannesdatter Lee, (born about 1804) died or where she died. And his son, Johannes Johnson (born 1831) seems NOT to have emigrated. Nor did any of the children of Johannes Johnson. So, it could be the John Endreson MAY have lost his wife, possibly, and gone to America....

Hans Endreson, Nistad Dale see Part 1

Synneve Endresdatter, born 1808, died 1861 at the age of 53. Her death may have given release to her children to emigrate. She married Hermund Johanneson Nesse.

This is the information I have for her 6 children:

Kari Hermundsdotter emigrated 1861

Endre Hermundson emigrated 1867

Anna Hermundsdotter emigrated 1867

Elling Hermundson emigrated 1867

Brita Hermundsdotter emigrated 1874

Lussi Hermundsdotter emigrated 1874
I do not know where Synneve's children went. Did they come to Goodhue County MN too?

Wiking Endreson I born and died as a baby in 1812.

Wiking Endreson see Part 1

Ole Endreson I born and died as a baby in 1817.

Iver Endreson Nistad (our Iver Vangsness) see Part 1

Ole Endreson, the last of the brothers and sisters, did not emigrate. He was born in 1823 and died in 1905 at the age of 81. It seems Ole died in Norway.... His wife, Ingeborn Johsdotter Kjelven born in 1826 and died 1896 at the age of 69. Again, seemingly in Norway. It is interesting to note that Ole died the same year as our Iver Vangsness, Ole in Norway and Iver in the US.

It also seems his children did not emigrate.
