Baker Anton Dahl b. 1876 left Norway 1902 on S/S Hekla. His wife Thea O. Dahl b. 1874, sister Laura Dahl b. 1882 and children Leif and Helge left Norway 1903 on the same ship. They were to live at 910 Payne Ave, St. Paul, Minnesota.
Does enyone have records of them after that?

Cemetery Search --- Greenwood (West) Cemetery, Thief River Falls, Minnesota
Surname First Name Birth Death Age Cemetery Blk Lot GS
Dahl Anton 10/27/1876 12/8/1945 69 WG F 9 3
Dahl Ever C. 10/7/1904 8/9/1971 66 WG J 1 7

Dahl Thea 3/15/1874 4/5/1935 61 WG F 9 2
Dahl Thea 3/5/1874 4/5/1935 61 EG 4P 216

There are 2 Thea Dahl’s listed and the info is quite similar, I would assume she is the on listed in WG.

Copies of obitiuaries from most Thief River Falls newspapers are available from the Thief River Falls Public Library at 218-681-4325 or by sending your request and your mailing address to trfcirc@nwrlib.org.

In the 1910 census, it says that Tea has 6 children, 3 living. They are living next door to a Christian Dahl & family, born Norway, immigrated 1904. Maybe a relative.

Thief River Falls is also in Pennington County.

On the SS Death Index, all three brothers last known residence was Baudette, Lake of the Woods, Minnesota:

Ever Carl Dahl, born Ocober 7, 1904, died August 1971
Helge Dahl, born April 21, 1902, died April 1985
Paul Dahl, born January 27, 1915, died November 1979

Maybe this site can help with obituaries or information but it does not look like the Historical Society is open now:

Jean and Jo Ann
Thank you, great news, looks like they made it in America! I will follow the links you provided.
Laura Dahl b. 1882-07-29 was the one who kept contact with our family in Norway. However that contact ended before WW2 and there is no documentation survived. The only oral information is that she got a daughter called Margrethe Hegna b. 1907. Secondary info is that she lived in Des Moines or a place that sounds like that, but this is very vague.

Here is the link for the Pennington Historical Society cemetery & obituary index:

http://pvillage.org/cemetery.asp

It appears that Ever, Helge & Ever were not buried with spouses.

Laura Hegna is in the 1920 census in Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa. The scan is extremely faint:

Hartung (?) Hegna, 43, head, born Norway, bricklayer
Laura, 37, wife, immigrated 1903, born Norway
Four daughters, all born in Wisconsin
Margaret, 12
Ruth, 10
Grace, 8
Ingeborg, 6
