I am having a difficult time making progress on this family. A great deal of my info comes from a handwritten photocopied family tree. Part of my difficulty is that they appeared to immigrate during a lull, but before the 1865 census in Norway.
I gather that Nestru Landru are place references in Norway. Have they been shortened? I have seen similar names with an "erud" suffix where these names have an "ru". Is there a single place that puts these two names together? I have read that when people moved they changed their name, not added to it.
Margit had Fryderlund in parentheses on my family tree. It sounds like a place name to me, just improperly positioned ???
I have searched multiple combinations in the ship archives, taking the possiblity of the wrong year of immigration into account. What direction should I take?
Below is the information I have. Census references are also taken from the "family tree" and I have not been able to verify them.
