Isak Eriksen Born 1840 - 1850 lived in Lyngen? Moved to Minnesota

[Stacey Fjerkenstad]

Hello Everyone,
I found a thread on here about Isak Eriksen, my 3rd grandfather, who was born in 1830 in Sweden or Norway, and died. 1908. I saw that his name could have been Isak Isaksson Letto?
I have conflicting stories of his life and would like to find out where he was from and any other information on him.
A story is that he may have fished in Lofoten before coming to Minnesota. How accurate it is, I'm not sure...

Thanks for your help,

Stacey

Thanks, Jackie, yeah, that's the information that I have found so far as well. There isn't a solid bit of information; his parents listed don't have any records or place names that I've been able to locate. I've also been told that he was from Troms, Sweden, and also Finland. I'm not sure which direction to follow.
Thanks so much for your help!
