I am looking for some relatives on my father's side. My great grandfather had a brother, Theodore Iversen Wicklem, born 22.06.1855. He went to America in August 1881. In the ship manifest it is stated that he had "Eau Claire, Wisconsin" as his destination. Theodore Wicklem can be found in Eau Claire (in Eau Claire County) in Wisconsin in 1885 (marriage), in 1889, 1890, 1891, 1892, 1893, and in the 1900 and 1910 Census. From these last two findings, I have been able to find out som more about his family, including the names of some(?) of his children. According to the 1910 cencus, there where 5 children living at that point. 4 of them listed in 1910, the one not mentioned in 1910 is probably "Elline" listed in 1900. I am now looking for decendants of this man Theodore and his wife, "Gunda"(?) (hard to read the census) and their children Eline (?) born1890, George b.1894, Stella b.1896, Helen and Edna (b.1906) Wicklem. I have found out in "Minnesota Death Index" that George died in 1973 in St. Paul. Since he can be found in St. Paul in the 1930 census, I guess he spent most of his life there. As you can see, the second generation where mostly girls, so I have had some difficulties finding their names after marriage. I have found the name "Lymburner Hayward", probably 4th generation, and I have found the name "Quine", which can be assosiated with the daughter Stella, and it can be located to Portland Oregon. I have also found a man "Ralph Quine" who died in Oregon in 1935, with "Spouses name: Stella". My family's note on adresses lists one adress in Oregon with the name "Stella Quine". The note is from the 1930s! Is there anyone out there with any information about this family? Aasmund Solem Aasveien 24 7715 Steinkjer Norway [phone number hidden] (cell phone)
