Information for the ancestors of Elen Shelde(Skjelde) LaPier was received from Anne Hildrum and

her Bygdebooks from Nord Trøndelag.  Also from Mr. Harald Storaker from Norway, who steered

me in the direction of Fosnaes, Nord-Trøndelag.  A big Thank You to the Heritage House in Fosston,

MN. for their efforts in finding the information about Mrs. Bengaard that made this whole process

possible.
