Looking for information regarding Karin Rohnebaek, born in 1860 in Hedemark, Norway. She
came to America around 1877. She went straight to her uncle Torger Nelson's farm in
Yankton county, South Dakota. Torger NELSON was born in Ringsaker, Norway and in 1866 was
the first Norwegian elected to the legislature from Yankton. It is a family mystery why
one day in 1880, she left the county and moved to Dunn County, Wisconsin. There she
married Karl EVENSEN, but if you have any insight as to whether Karl may have been in
Yankton or his family lived there, please let me know.
