My ancestors and relatives began arriving from Norway in 1846, many initially settling (as so many did) in Wisconsin before putting down roots in Iowa and the Dakota Territory. One of the family lines, however, originated in Denmark, much to the shock of the family.

I do some advanced historical research into the Norwegian records and will accept questions from those stuck with their own research.
