My GGrandfather was Mads Bertelson that came from Denmark with his wife and two children, Bertel & Karen Bertelson. Bertel & his wife met and were married in Redwood Falls, MN. They had 6 children in MN and then moved to the Norwegian settlement in Bosque Co., TX in 1864, where they had 12 more children of whom only 8 lived to maturity. Bertel's 4th son was my grandfather. Mads had a brother or cousin that went West to SD first, but have no info on them.
