Census 1930 for Fillmore, MN:
Carl Syvertson b 1862
Jessie B Syvertson b 1900
Calvin Syvertson b 1925
Bettey Syvertson b 1928

Census 1920 for Fillmore, MN:
Carl S Syvertson b 1863, immigration year 1874

A possibility for Jessie:
Census 1920 for Fillmore, MN:
Jessie B Johnson b 1901

Census 1910 for Fillmore, MN:
Carl S Severtson b 1862, immigration year 1874
Karine Severtson b 1865
Selmer Severtson b 1889
Emil Severtson b 1891

Could it be this one in census-1880 for Hartland, Freeborn, Minnesota?

Carl Syvertson is quite a common name, so we have to trace backwards slowly, to try to locate his origin.

The age difference between Carl and Jessie are almost 40 years, so I guess Carl could have been a widower when he met Jessie.
Then his previous wife could have been Karine b 1865.

And did the Severtson family live in Becker, Minnesota in census-1900?
I find two boys there, which look like theirs, but can't see the parents...?

Selmer Severtson b 1888
Emil S Severtson b 1892

And could this be Emil?

Syvertson, Emil Cornelius
Date of Birth: 31 May 1890
Place of Birth: Minnesota
Date of Death: 15 Jun 1981
County of Death: Highland, Fillmore
Mother Maiden Name: Erlandson

Two possibilties for Selmer:
Selmer Severtson b 20 Apr 1887 d Jul 1964 MN
Selmer Syvertson b 27 Jan 1889 d Mar 1969 Inkster, Grand Forks, ND

Wonder if the "S" in Carl S Syvertson stands for Sigvard?

Carl Sigvard Sivertsen
Birth: 08 JAN 1862
Christening: 27 APR 1862 Norderhov, Buskerud
Parents: Syver Haagensen & Karen Jensdr

This could be him:
Emigration from Oslo on 10-JUL-1874, Carl Sivertsen (11.5) from Norderhov, destination Rushford Minnesota.
Travelling companion looks to be Marie Jens. (58).

Another candidate for the 10-JUL-1874 emigration (his age fits better...):

Carl Sivertsen
Birth: 04 MAR 1863
Christening: 26 APR 1863, Norderhov, Buskerud
Parents: Syver Henriksen & Oline Christophersdr
Census-1865

Please note that there are at least 12 "Carl Syvertson, born 1861-1863" in the Norwegian 1865-census.
