Jens E. Markuson/Markusen (b. February 15, 1847, in Maridalen, Christiana, Norway) came to NY from Maridalen with his wife-to-be (Marn Andrina Brekke) in 1870, married her apparently in NY, and then moved by train to Greenfield Prairie, Minnesota, where Jens had a married brother. Father's name: Markus Christopherson. Mother's name: apparently "Maria". Does anyone have any info. on Jens' brother or other siblings or their parents? I have absolutely no info. on Markus Christopherson and his wife...
