Andrew Egeland is also in Norway township of Humboldt County for the 1885 Iowa state census and by 1910 he is listed 'Andrew Egland' with his wfie "Anna G. Egland" in Eagle Grove, Wright County -- both in their 40's and listed as having no children.
Norway township of Humboldt County had a very heavily Norwegian population. The biggest little town in the township was Thor and the Lutheran church still there has as yet not allowed film reproduction of their old church records.

Hello there I am looking for information on my ancestors who I know emigrated and settled in Iowa,the person in question is Andreas(Andrew) Egeland born 18694 in Hoyland close to Sandnes in Norway and emigrated in 1889 20 years old,first he worked for a man named Hans Lenning and then I know he lived in Eagle Grove Iowa in 1920 he owned two farms there and was the vicepresident in a bank there,his wife name was Anna Egeland,I am looking for descendants after him. Appreciate all Help,Jens Inge Egland Norway
I am trying to find the Ellis island immigration documents or ancestry immigration documents on the Egelands that show wich boat they came on and when they immigrated to America the people are Andreas Egeland born july 1st 1864 and emigrated from Stavanger 20 years old in 1884.
Ane Marie Egeland born augst 24th 1866 emigrated in 1881?
Enevald Egeland born 17th of july 1869 emigrated from Stavanger 20 years old in 1889
and Anne Regine Egeland born 22nd of august 1872 emigrated? would apprecitae any help
I realize that this forum is a few years old, but I just stumbled upon it and got a lot of info, - thanks! However, I understand that you were a bit baffled about Anna Regine Egeland and her birthdate, and I have the explanation. Torkel and Martha Egeland had TWO daughters named Anna Regine. The oldest one was born 22 Aug 1872, but died 17 Jan 1882 in Norway. The younger Anna Regine was then born 7 Nov 1888, so she must be the one who went to the USA.
Greetings from Inger Faber-Swensson in Norway. |
