Finnestad Ancestry

Ole and Mari Finnestad's son-in-law, Andrew Haaland, filed immigration documents on March 30, 1899 in Lee County, Illinois. Andrew was the husband of Bertha (Finnestad). Below is the index card that allowed me to locate the complete document.

Bertha was the twin sister of Iverdine, born to Ole and Mari Finnestad. Bertha and her husband, Andrew Haaland are buried at the Union Cemetery in Lee County, Illinois. Bertha was born December 2, 1850 and died April 29, 1929. Unfortunately they spelled her name incorrectly as "Bartha" on her marker.
