Not sure if this one is yours or not, but a Hans Olson proved up his original entry homestead in 1880 in Nobles county, Minnesota. Here is the legal description of the land:
MN 5th PM 101N - 042W NW¼ 10 Nobles
According to the map at glorecords.blm.gov, this piece is located about halfway between Adrian Minnesota and Rushmore Minnesota and about 3.5 -4 miles south of a line drawn between Adrian and Rushmore. |

Usually if there is a farm with a directional part to the name (like sore or nordre), then there is another farm or two with other and opposite directional parts to the name. The bygdebok says the family was on nordre Kolbjornhus and the pointer on the map goes to sore Kolbjornshus. |

In a list of Norwegian farms, Nordre and søre Kolbjørnshus are numbered as 128/1 and 128/2 in the local municipality. That probably indicates that at some point søre Kolbjørnshus was separated out from the other fram, which at that time was probably known just as Kolbjørnshus. Now if you zoom in on the map, you see that a farm named just Kolbjørnshus is loicated 100m or so North West of Søre Kolbjørnshus. And if you klick right on each farm and then select "se eiendomsinformasjon" in the meny that pops up, you will se that they are numbered as 128/1 and 128/2. So, in my understanding Nordre Kolbjørmnshus must the same as just Kolbjørnshus. |
