I believe Taletta Johnston's father is Tarald Mikkelson is my GG uncle. Tarald Mikkelsen Ostebo was born near Sand, Norway in 1842. His wife was Margreta Torgersdatter Fattland, born 1838 in Norway. They were married in 1865. They had 5 daughters, Marta - born in 1867, Margrete, born in 1867, Mina Helene, born in 1875, Thea Johanna, born in 1877 and Taletta Margrete, born in 1880. The family came to America in 1881. We have a picture of the family that was taken in Colorado. In the 1910 census I found Taral and Margrete Mikkelson in Beaver township, Republic county in Kansas. In the 1920 census I found Margaret Mikkelson living with her daughter, Taletta Johnston, and family in Summit township, Cloud county, Kansas. The oldest son's name is Tarald. Another son's name is Curt or Carl, and then I can't read the husband's name or the third son's name. Any help in finding someone in this family would be greatly appreciated.
