A while ago I asked forum members for help in finding out about my Norwegian ancestors. My starting point was a John Johnson who emmigrated to Two Creeks, Wisconsin. I got lots of useful information.

I would like to report that as a result of all your information and advice I have made great strides in building the Norwegian branch of my tree. I tracked down the farm books for Rennesoy, where John Johnson's mother's family was from and was able to track down several generations of ancestors. I have also tracked down other relatives researching the Johnsons.

I want to thank the forum members again for all the help you gave me.
