Laura | I'm trying to find the Norwegian roots of my Benson family. My great great grandfather, Biernt E. Benson was born about 1870 in Norway, but I don't know where in Norway. He is listed on the 1880 Dunn Co., Wisconsin census along with his parents, Ingelbrit and Anna, and his 5 younger brothers, all born in Norway. The youngest (twins) are listed as 6 months of age, so I'm concluding that they came over in late 1879 or 1880. I'm having trouble looking on the Digitalarkivet. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?
