[#33741] Even Evensen Ostraadt

[Gjest Vin Wright]

I have found that Even Evensen Ostraadt of Hoyland, Rogaland emigrated to USA via Quebec in 1871. He eventually settled in Halstad Township, Norman County, Minnesota and in the 1885 census he was with a wife, Rakel. Does anyone know who this Rakel is? She was born in 1854 and emigrated in 1857 (according to the census in 1910, though by this time Even was dead). Many thanks, Vin Wright, Spain.
