Am looking for decandants of Andreas Nilsen B) 1841 in Naes Norway. Left for St Peter, USA via Denmark on 4/6/1870. He married Thea Gulbrandsdatter Husmo, in 1865, they had 2 children Nils B) 1865, Gulbrand B) ?

Have you located them in the 1865 census? There is a Naes parish in Burskerud, they may have gone by the farm name after emigrating.

There is a town of Saint Peter in Nicollet County Minnesota.

Thank you for your reply, yes I have found them in 1865 census, and have found him in the Danish archives leaving there for USA. Will have a look for St Peter Nicollet County Minnesota and see what I can find.
