Smilden family

Ive been trying to research information on the Smilden family. Ive recently learned about farm names and such and realize that Smilden was a farm name and that is how my name came to be. My grandpa "Harold Smilden" lived in grand forks north dakota. My dad is Timothy Allen Smilden and used to live there but moved to california long before i was born, well actually while he was still a kid with his dad. I heard a story that when they came to america that whoever my ancestor was had the last name hanson or hansen dunno how to spell it and now after doing more research I found it probably meant he was the son of Hans or Han. That is all the information I have and I would love to see if I can find out more. I did a search here... Smilden farm search and found a "Hans Jensen" living on the smilden farm around 1886. So although its a long shot and I could be wrong, and this guy not even related.... I think it might be his son Hansen or Hanson that came over to america, don't even know what state or even if it was canada he landed at. But all I know is the immediate family comes from North Dakota. Anybody have any insights for me, it would be greatly appreciated. I did some more digging and this person I'm more sure Im related too. Some records from North Dakota... North Dakota records Lots of stuff there so I manually got the text out so you don't have to go through it all... SMILDEN HANS HANSEN 05 151 N 056 W 002 80 251101 PA 7589 08/01/1904 This guy is matches my dad story, apparently though instead of getting rid of Hansen he made it his middle name. But what are the chances that his dad was Hans Jensen from the Smilden farm? I dont see any other Hans on the Smilden farm, I would need to see other years for records. I think I've accomplished a lot although non of this is solid yet cept for maybe Hans Hansen Smilden, its obvious though his dads name was Hans too. It is also now fairly obvious to me that this is the first Smilden of my family to come to America, not hard to conclude ;). But where did he land? What boat was he on? When did he leave Norway? Did his dad go with him? So many questiosn!!!
