Steve,
  My wife is Norwegian, her folks came to the U.S.  from Norway after WWII, but she was born here. We did some research on some of her relatives who Moved to Arondahl, Minn. down in the southeast corner of Minnesota way back just before the civil war (and he was killed at the battle of Shiloh). The other relatives moved out to North Dakota a little southwest of East Grand Forks,Minn. They settled there around 1890 or 1900.  We went out to that area about 3 weeks ago. ... yep, there are a lot of Scandinavians out there!
