Further info on this family:
I'm trying to find information on my g-g-grandmother's twin brother. His name was Ole or Olaf Swenson Basgaard and he was born on March 25, 1847. We believe he settled in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I'm attaching a copy of a story about his twin sister, Ingeborg (View her story on the Genealogy Trails Vernon County, Wisconsin site)

My records show that Ole/Olaf had a daughter, named Laura who married Albert Corliss who died in 1927. Laura was born on July 18, 1884 and died on February 12, 1982. Laura & Albert had 4 children who were named: Chester, Lester, Lila, and Blanch.

I would love to locate obituaries, death records, marriage records, census records - email at jformolo@wi.rr.com
