Something that is probably worth pursing is that the records I have seen would indicate that the man who would be your great grandfather was born in Wisconsin. The candidates name is Albert Henry Anderson. His father named Fingel Andersen was born in Norway but married in Wisconsin.

Probably this man?

One of the family in Norway searching for Madli in the past was a man named Svein Atle Stendal. He may be the same man as the one I corresponded with about 2005 or so. As I recall he was doing the research on his mother's behalf.

Based on the post by Jase Anderson and the marriage record I posted on page 1, I think the Norwegian who came from Norway is the Fingel Andersen. And it is his son Albert H Anderson who married Madli Nilsen (Nilsdatter) in North Dakota. Albert H was born in Wisconsin and is found here in the 1880 Census living with his family including his father Fingel Andersen.

Here he is living with his wife. Now using the name Molly on the WWI Draft Registration Cards.

There is probably some further information on Fingel Andersen but I also found some further information on Madil that may be worth sharing.

Her father is listed as Haldor and this is probably his baptism record.
