Thank you for your work on this ship.  My Grandfather is Ellef Herleikson.  
He settled at Northwood, ND where he homestead on land in Lind Township, 
Grand Forks County, North Dakota.  After arriving in America he married 
another Norwegian - Helga Trageton.  They had 9 children.  My mother was 
his next to youngest daughter.  My sister and I still own the farm that 
he homesteaded.  Researchers may contact me at Byron W. Engen
