Hei

Earlier I posted a message, searching for a group of 6 Magnussens that
individually travelled to the US in the early 1900's. I have since learned
that they went by the name Wik in the US. They were 6 siblings, 4 men and 2
women.

Here are the facts in short:
1. Johan Martin Magnussen (Martin Wik), b. 26 Jan 1879, was a sailor, lived
in Duluth, Minnesota
2. Olaf Julian Magnussen (Ole Wik), b. 13 May 1885, never married. Lived
near Irene, SD
3. Adolf Elieser Magnussen (Adolf Wik), b. 12 Jul 1887, lived in Minnesota
4. Jørgen Gunerius Magnussen (George Cornelius Wik), in touch with his son
Millard Wik
5. Thea Berntine Magnusdatter (Bernthine Wik, married Oursland), in tough
with her son George Wik.
6. Anna Jensine Magnusdatter (Anna Wik, married Bergman), had no children.

So what I basically am searching more information on is Martin Wik and Adolf
Wik. I guess there isn't too much information to find on Ole Wik since he
never married.

Anyone...?
