Omun Simonsen

Looking on information on a Omun Simonson who imigrated to the States in 1857 from Norway. I am looking for any information that might help locate were he was born in Norway, parents and more specific date on when and on what ship he traveled. Information that I have so far is the following: He was born about 1837 and died 6/12/1918. He settled in Leland, IL where he was in the dry goods business. He married Rachel Olsen on 2/8/1862 in LaSalle Cty (Leland Area). He had a brother Halvor who move to the LeLand area around 1881, he was a cooper. His wife was Marie. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Edited by - bhparker on 30/03/2003 00:37:43
