Notes:
Note:
John Johnson Estrem was born November 15, 1836 (Norway birth register) (death certificate has November 28, 1836) in Vang, Valdres, Oppland County, Norway. He was the illegimate child of Ingeborg Evensdatr Hæn and John Johnson Nefstad.
His name appears in several ways according to various documents:
Norway marriage record: John Johnson Østerim, age 21, married Sigrid Nilsdatr. Veblensejet, age 24, on November 22, 1857.
John Johnsen Næbstad, age 22, checked out of the church on March 30, 1858. Also his wife, Sigri Nilsdtr, his mother, Ingeborg Evensdtr Heen and possibly a brother-in-law.
The Vang bygdebok gives Sigrid's husband's name as "Jon Jonsson Austreim (Heen)."
Sigrid's name is recorded with different farm names: Volviseiga/Veflen/Leite/Berge. She was born December 29, 1833 and died June 29, 1902.
John and Sigrid had 10 children - I believe a few died young, and some used "Johnson" as a surname.

A year after their marriage John and Sigrid immigrated, settling first in Wisconsin and then to Warsaw Township, Minnesota.
