EYSTAD, JOHNSEN, JENSSEN, LEE - Looking for relatives from Norway who settled
in Morris, Stevens County, MN (and also Chippewa Falls, WI). Chris & Anna
JENSSEN EYSTAD immigrated from Norway (probably Oslo area) in the 1880s. They
may have come with extended family. They later moved to San Fransisco. They
had at least 3 daughters, and I'm not sure about sons. Their daughter Thea Olivia
JOHNSEN EYSTAD (born 1861-1865) emigrated in 1885, likely to Morris, Minnesota,
and moved to San Francisco, California in 1887. Her parents moved to San Francisco
at one point, as well. I have lots of family photos from the late 1800s. I believe
one of the EYSTAD daughters married a man named LEE and had children named Arthur
& Alma LEE, born around the 1890s. I would love to exchange information.

LENZ, LENTZ, ZUMMACH, WARNER, KILCHER, SAFFERLING; Looking for any
information on the John LENZ family from Morris, Stevens County, Minnesota.
John LENZ b. June 1850, Germany. Parents: Moritz LENZ and Catherine SAFFERLING.
They migrated from Little Black, Taylor County, Wisconsin about 1876. He married
Katherine WARNER and they had 10 children. Edward b. abt. 1875, Emma b. 1876
m. Louis Mankey, William b. 1879, Ethel b. 1881, Walter b. 1882, Bertha b. Dec.
14, 1884, Louis b. May 26, 1889, Mary b. March 16, 1891, Ella b. March 1892,
George b. July 27, 1893, and John b. May 12, 1897 m, Katherine KILCHER. We would
like to find the whereabouts of several of these 10 children, Mary, Ella, William,
and Edward. Katherine LENZ died April 14, 1899 when the youngest child was not
quite 2 years old. Their dad, John LENZ more or less abandoned the family and
has left us with a very difficult search. We have found one in Cleveland, one
in Wisconsin, one in Minnesota, one in California, and assorted other places.
We think possibly the children may have died in Stevens County as children but
we can't find any record of them except birth. Any help or knowledge of this
family would be appreciated. We have lots to share with relatives.

descendants of seven of my grandfather's cousins, some of whom immigrated to
the Stevens Co. area between 1870 and 1891 from the farm Søre Teigen Bottem
located in Lesja, Oppland, Norway. Their parents were KNUT Johanneson, b. 1793,
and Anne Jørgensdatter, b. 1832 (my GGrandmother's neice). My information is
from the Lesja Bygdebok, and no mention is made of the surname they took in
the U.S. The assumtion is they used KNUTSON/KNUTSDATTER, but one or more may
have taken the name TEIGEN or BOTTEM. My info on the 7 is: (1) Jørgen, b:1855,
