WOW! You all are tremendous! This is a wealth of information and I think you got it. The Wibetos and Sonstebos both lived in Wallace, Codington County SD. My birth mother's name was Alice Sonstebo Waite and she just died in January 2022. Her father was Charley Sonstebo. I don't recall her telling me the birth father's first name but she had heard he moved to Minneapolis.

I think I will try contacting the people at Romseland farm near sjkold and then head for Telemark as a possible location for the Sonstebos and Wibetos. This is so amazing!

Another question about Romseland Farm and the Wibetos and Sonstebos:

Are there people in the Skjold/Haugesand area and Telemark that can take you on a "genealogical" tour of the areas?
