Here is a list of all people with a last name containing Svoldal. Note the three using the Thorbjørns name. That would be Synnove, Andreas and your Hans. They could be brothers and sister and Synnove would be the sister in South Dakota that Hans mentioned he was going to in his passenger manifest. Put Svoldal in the blank for Ettername.

One thing a little out of place is that the records have a Andreas Svoldal going to America in 1897, yet the 1900 Norwegian Census shows a Andreas Svoldal living with his parents. Records shown above. Did he go and then return shortly thereafter or are we dealing with two people?

Synnøve Thorbjørnsdatter Svoldal was born Jan 24, 1877 making her a fairly good match with Synneva Dahl of South Dakota and Canada. See number 16.
