We share the same surname, but our families are not related. I researched your family and believe that your Samuel S Lee was Sveinung Sveinungssen Lisland from Seljord, Telemark. His brother Charley was Kjetil. They are among 7 children who emigrated from 1868 to 1880, as did their Mother, Edel Lisland / Lee. Sveinung Lesland emig. 24 Mai 1878, to Morris, MN, with his Mother and sisters. Four children and their Father died in Norway. The Mother and Charley are buried at Pelican Lake Cemetery, Ashby, Grant Co, MN.
I have much data to send you, via e-mail, with cemetery data, census data in Norway and the USA, passenger data on all family members and a connection to a family history, which includes data on one of the sisters. The family is recorded in the Seljord Bygdebok.

Looking for someone to help me find my GG Grandfather's family in Norway or Minnesota.
Samuel S Lee born May 4,1868 Norway--not sure where
(poss born 1858 according to one U.S. Census-but I think it's an error)
Came to the U.S. in June of 1878 arriving in New York.
1878-1894 Unknown where he lived. Cannot find him on any Census, but maybe his name wasn't "Lee"??
1894 Married Olava Thompson (Gulickson) Ashby, MN
1907-1910 Lived White Earth, North Dakota
1910 moved to Saskatchewan Canada
1926 Moved to Alberta, Canada
I thought that the middle initial "S" might be the start of his last name as I am told that Lee is likely a farm name "Lie".
If anyone is able to help I would appreciate any suggestions. I have a lot more info on his children if needed.
Thanks
