I am looking for help finding immigration information on this family. Arndt is my great great grandfather. The US 1880 census has him and his family living in Onalaska Wi. His birth place is shown as Norway, Rognhajen, Rana, I believe. His birth date is
12 Oct 1942. The records I have found show both is father and mother, Anne Andersdatter Almlia passed away in Norway.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks |

The 1900 US Census has him emigrating in 1867 and the 1910 Census lists 1869. This is possibly him leaving in 1869.

Thank you very much AntonH. The additional last names of Storaltern and Sholten baffle me. But it looks like this is the guy. I will go through the sources you have provided to fill in some blanks on my tree. You have taken me to school, I appreciate it.

Storalteren is a farm name that is attached to your family because they lived, owned, rented or had some relationship with the farm which is probably also called Stor-Altern. There is a Family Tree on Ancestry.com that lists the father of Arndt as.
Lars Andreasen
BIRTH ABT. 1809 • Stor-Alteren, Rana, Nordland, Norway

When you get far enough back in time the families start popping up in Geni.com a fairly respectable Family Tree. More work to be done.

It seems that the route I was taking differs here with the route of the Geni.com Tree.
Need to spend some time tomorrow sorting out which tree fits
