John and Elizabeth Lingscheit
Elizabeth Nerland Lingscheit was born June 30, 1886 to Thorstein Nerland and his wife Johanna Falness Nerland. She lived on Fenno Island in a Fjord near Stavanger, Norway. Elizabeth and her brothers Peter and Thor grew up in Norway and remained there until they decided to sail to America. Peter left home first, followed by Thor, settling in Iowa. Elizabeth at age 19 set sail to visit her brothers, not knowing her visit would be a permanent stay in America with 61 years of it spent in Hand County, South Dakota. She might have changed her mind, as did her sister, had she known it would be 51 years before she would return to Norway for a visit.
