| Brining | Looking at the [url="http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/databases.html"]Illinois Marriage &Death Databases[/url] It appears that the Hougas were mainly from LaSalle County. I didn't find a marriage record for Danil and Mary but it could be there under a different spelling.
In the [url="http://129.177.171.80/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=US1850&variabel=0&postnr=13398&fulle=true&spraak=e"]1850 census[/url] There is a Daniel Hugas age 11. His mother is Caroline Hugas with a notation "Kari Christophersdtr Hervik, utv. 1836"
In the 1801 Norway census there are 3 Hervig(americanized to Hervik) farms but Schiold, Rogaland is most likely where Kari came from since there is also a Hugaas farm located there, that is assuming she married before coming over.
You need to try and get copies of the original marriage, death and birth information on individuals to try and verify this all. Right now it is speculation. Mills county Iowa, and La Salle County Illinois are places to start

| arnev | 1. Caroline Hugas with notation Kari Christohersdtr Hervik utv. (=emigrated) 1836,
could be a Kari daugther of Kristoffer Kristofferson (1752-1828) and
Sissel Henriksdaughter Dueland (1768-1858) born in Hervik, Tysvær, Rogaland, Norway
in 1812. Her brother Henrik (1802-84) emigrated with his wife Marta with "Restaurationen"
in 1825. They settled in Kendell. Also her sister Brita married to
Nils (Nels) Korneliussen from Hersdal,Tysvær,Rogaland emigrated together with them, they
settled in Fox River, Nels was a very strong man and were known under the name "Big Nels".
( This Nels was the brother of the grand grand mother of my grandfather.)
Kari (or americanized Caroline) would then be 22 years in 1836 when she emigrated.
I am born in Hervik in Tysvær, and Hervik is the norwegian form of the name.
2. Near to Hervik there is another farm Haukås (could be americanized to Hougas).
A man named Gudmund Danielson Haukås (1800-18) also emigrated with "Restaurationen"
in 1825. He was first married in 1827 to Julia Madland. She died in 1846, and
Gudmund married again with a Caroline Hervik. They lived in Kendall, Fox River and
La Salle. He was a high priest in the mormon church, and died of colera in 1849.
Gudmund was the son of Daniel Johanneson Hakås (1747-1831) and
Bertha (Brita) Hansdtr. Haukås.
