I am the grandson of Andrew Oksendahl. He was a pioneer and settled in Rugby, North Dakota in the 1880's.
I believe he is the older half brother of Nels Oksendahl who settled in Montana. I recall my grandfather brought over most of his family from Norway. If this is the same Nels, he has a daughter named Wilma.

Som additions done by Kaare:
- From an email sendt to John:
As you surely already have done, you can read about your grandfather Andrew (Andreas in Norwegian), and about his younger half brother Nels (Nils in Norwegian), on the pages found at
emigration from Yksendal.
I hope I can add your "denied" guestbook enty to my guestbook.
- From John's answer: Yes, this Andrew Oksendahl, is my grandfather. I am the son of Selma Oksendahl, Andrew's daughter. I recognize all of the pictures of the North Dakota farm that are in your web site.
I will forward this to my siblings James Hamilton, Janice Gaston, Joan Clow and Judy Harrington. They will enjoy your web site.
