    Gender Male 
    Notes 
    • 1875 Minnesota Census, Fillmore, Norway, Michael A. Rein 446, Margrethe 40, Cornelius 11, Julianna 7, Ellen B. 6, Anna O. 3, Andreas 2, Marcus 0, Elisabeth 60

      From Steinkjer, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway
      fra Egge s. Stod p.
      Pre-1908 Homestead & Cash Entry Patents for Fillmore County, Minnesota
      Homestead, sign date 1873, Feb. 1
      Section 32, 80 acres in the S1/2 of the SW1/4
      Note that the "sign date" is often quite a bit later than
      when they occupied the land.

      Michael Rein came to the US in 1854 with
      his father and stepmother, 2 brothers, Peter & Jacob, and a sister Serine.

      Else B. Anderson in the 1880 census is likely the stepmother. I have a list of people who left Kvam & Følling which includes Michael Anderson Flekstad in 1857 but not his parents or siblings who likely left from Egge. It also says that they built a two room log cabin, one room for Michael & his wife and one room for Michaels parents. Also that Michael was for many years an invalid before he died. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6]
