Johan is my great grandfather who immigrated from Norway in either 1892 or 1893. I have no idea what the dates are but I do know he did move to Mason, Wisconsin. His family followed him in 1894. I have no idea on how to find their dates of arrival or the ships that they came over on. When he got to america he changed his name if John Arnt Hanson.

Actually Johan is the oldest one, he is born in 1854 and we find him in the 1865 census living at Skaset see here
Jakobine comes from Bjugn and in the same census she is here
Birth record for Johan Arnt see #149
Parish records for Bjugn were lost in a fire.

Debbie - You give no vital identifying dates for the persons sought. That makes it very difficult.
