Does anyone know where SKAUGUM farm is located? First person to America was Richard Martin Skaug - emigrated 1878 - married to Mary/Maria Grutrud Collins. Lived in Polk County, MN. I am following his lines of Carl John Skaug 1884 MN. This family, and the following family were neighbors at one time. I cannot find either the farm, nor the ship they came over on, supposedly to NY, following freinds and relatives into the MN area where there were 'Scandia' settlements.
Second family: VALTINSON, Valtin (1820 Ramsvig Norway) & wife Engeborg Dorthea Oldsdatter - emigrated 1854, Citizenship 1860. Houston County, MN. His son, Olaus Bjerby Valtinson (1841) married second wife Bretha (Betsy) Jordahl born 1862 WI-1911 MN , daughter fo Ole T. Jordahl and Agatha Olson of Norway. Settled in Smiley Twp. & also Polk County. This family is said to come into the US on a ship into the Port of Wisconsin? SUPPOSEDLY related to Kings and Queens.
ALL family members were Lutherans.
I am so lost I am not sure I am even posting in the correct area! |

It would help if you had separate postings for two separate families, they get all mixed up and confusing to follow.
Recommend you read some of the articles on this site about voyages, ports, etc. There was no Port of Wisconsin, immigrants came to American or Canadian ports and took Great Lakes steamboats, disembarking in Chicago or Wisconsin and other Great Lakes locations. There was not one boat from Norway to Wisconsin but a series of transfers on different legs of the journey.
If you go back far enough, everyone is related to royalty. |
