Does anyone have information as to the fate of Edvard Hansen Rødalshaugen, born at Rødalshaugen in Ringebu, Oppland, on February 25, 1860, after he immigrated to the USA in 1882? He was supposed to be heading for Westby, Wisconsin, when he left on Benneth Angelo May 4, 1882, but I have been unable to find him in censuses or other sources on the Web from after his arrival. Possible last names: Hansen/Hanson, Haugen, Rodalshaugen, Rodal. Hansen/Hanson may be most likely, as Rødalshaugen is not listed in the emigration information, see link below. Edvard was the son of Hans Hansen (b. 1824) and Abelone Engegretsdotter (b. 1823), and his siblings were: Engebret, b. March 25, 1847 Hans, b. October 1, 1849 Marit, b. January 18, 1852 Gjertrud, b. July 3, 1855 Niels, b. December 26, 1857 Kristian, b. January 1, 1863 Karen, b.
