Hi,
Actually it was just uploaded this AM. Had problems uploading over the
weekend and had a sick kid yesterday. He is back in school this morning :)
Thanks for the help

Cilla,
He has done all the right things in the information he has found
below. According to the bygdebok information, he left for America in
1880
and was still there in 1908 (someone in the family probably received
a
letter from him at that time - Norwegian families often kept those
letters
... even till today). He may be listed in the 1880 and 1900
census. Possible names he may have taken: Peder/Peter Myre / Peder Myhre
/
Peder Johanssen / Peder Johnson. Or a look in the county records
could
tell if he married there. Have you passed the information along to your
lookup volunteer with the marriage records? Or suggested to him that he
do
that?
Where did you post his information? I couldn't find it on the Winnebago
web
site to respond to it there.
