Am looking for descendants of Petter ANDERSEN who immigrated from Vardal, Norway in 1850 at the age of 25. His parents were Anders Johannessen and Karen Pedersdatter. Petter first settled in Trempealeau County, Wisconsin (LaCrosse, Trempealeau Valley, Ettrick Township) but sometime in the late 1800's moved to the Red River Valley area of Dakota Territory and I believe, finally settled near Hillsboro, ND.

I am seeking information on brothers David KENNEY and Robert L. KENNEY on behalf of Robert KENNEY who is a son of Robert. They are both listed on the Mayville City 1910 census (District 242, Sheet 3B). David is listed with two of his sons Vernon, age 16, and a son age 6. I cannot make out the son's name. Any help there would be appreciated. I am especially interested in finding the wife of David. He is listed as married 27 years but no wife is listed with him on this census. Also in 1900 Robert is listed on the Mayville City census but David is not. We know they both went to N.D. from Boston prior to 1900 but we think David, who was a druggist, got in some trouble and possibly spent some time in jail. We are seeking any information on his whereabouts in 1900. We cannot find information on the other two children David had either. We see that KENNEY is listed in the cemetery index for Traill county but do not know who is buried there. We will write for that information. Any information will be appreciated.
