His norwegian name is likely Sivert Sivertsen.
The early settlers in Crawford county were mostly from Sogn & Fjordane county, and especially from Luster and Årdal.
Being from that part of Norway, he would have emigrated from Bergen.
Further north, in Vermon and up to Sparta, Monroe county, the settlers came from Biri, Gudbrandsdalen, Flekkefjord, Hurdal (Akershus) and Høland (Akershus).
Wonder were the name Oslo comes from? It's very strange if it is from his 1885 obituary, because at that time, Oslo was named Christiania. The most likely origin if Oslo is a clue would be Hurdal or Aurskog-Høland in Akershus. |

Interesting familytree.
It shows Margot as the oldest child, but census 1850 and 1860 shows Margareth born about 1847-48, so I think Jane is the oldest.
Jane is listed as born 2 September 1845, 2 years before they were married.

If the father "Suit" emigrated alone, and not with his parents, he likely emigrated around 1840-1844.
Some of the marriage records list their marrige in Jo Daviess Township, Faribault, Minnesota, but census shows them in Millville, Jo Daviess, Illinois?
Which Jo Daviess are correct?
Suit's headstone list him as 65 yo, 7 months and 18 days on March 3rd 1885, thus born around 13-16 July 1819.
