I am looking for brother to my grandfather Jacob Olson born April 9, 1867. I think he may be went to Mower county in Minnesota, but I do not know anymore about him.
Sincerely Terje Aarland

Hi Terje:

Jacob/Jakob Olson is a very common name in Minnesota. Can you think of any other info that would help locate him. What was your grandfather's name? Do you know when Jacob came to the USA? What makes you think he was in Mower County?

Anything you can add will help in possibly finding him.

I just found this info that you had posted on another sight:

Is there someone who are able to help me with information about Jacob Olson born April 9, 1867. He went to US in 1888 and I think he lived in Adams in Minnesota. Someone have told me that Jacob (or Jakop or Jacop)passed away when he was young, but I do not know. Is there some one who are able to tell me something about Jacob Olson. How old he was when he died and if he was married. Jacob had two brothers who went to US to the same plase, that was Nils and Hans. Nils mowed to Oklahoma, but Hans lived all his days in Adams. I hope you are able to help me.

Any idea when Hans and Nils were born? They are both very common names in MN. Also, there is a Hans Olson here on Find A Grave, in Little Cedar Cemetery in Adams, but he was born in 1882.

I didn't yet find them in the early censuses of Mower County.
