It might be speculated that Halvor Olson Dalen deceased in America - date or location not known.
There is indication that he traveled to America with a wife Sissel and children to the state of Wisconsin.
A 3 year old traveling with family born in 1866 was buried at sea in 1869. This child's name was again
used to label a later birth in 1874. The family grew to 13 - 14 children. It appears my grandmother Anna
was aged 9 when traveling to America with family. Rumor is that due to restrictive finances, she had been
placed with an established family for purposes of room & board in exchange for duties she was able to render.
