25. Stanley Stengrim Helgeson
Born in Norway, at Gol Hallingdal. In Norway, the last name was different.
His father was Helge Aslagen Asselson. When they moved to the U.S.A., some of
the family took the name Helgeson, some Berg, or Bergson.
Stanley Helgeson, his mother Barbara (Barbo) Steimgrim, and his paternal
grand-
mother Anne Christians. The Steimgrem's lived in an inland town called Gol, in
the valley of Hallingdal, Buskerud county, Norway, about 100 miles from the city
of Christiana, later changed to OSLO, Norway, where the Helge Aslagen family
lived. Helge, Barbara, and sons came to America in 1866. Three (3) masted
ships, and 300 passengers left Norway in 1866. After seven weeks on the ocean
they finally landed at Quebec. They sailed down the St. Lawrence river to
Toronto, then by train that fired cord wood. The train would stop and the able
bodied men and boys got off and helped load cord wood for their further journey.
It took fourteen weeks in all to get to Lansing, Iowa from their homeland in
Norway. They lived mostly on sea biscuits on the boat trip to America. Stanley
was 13 years old. He later went to Iowa (1871) where he met and married Nellie
Aribelle Randall in 1878, at Waukon, Allamakee County, Iowa. Helge Aslagen was
a shoe maker and a cooper. Two brothers to his wife Barbara, lived in Blooming
Prairie, Minnesota, close to Austin. Their names were Holvar and Knut Steimgrim.
My father, Rev. George S. Helgeson, was a speaker at the funeral of his father,
Stanley Stengrim Helgeson.

The following is the text of an e-mail that I (Lew Helgeson) received from Sandie Alberts:
I found your website and I thought you might like to have a copy of this photo of Christ Helgeson. My great great grandmother was Sarah Russell of Walcott. (Her husband was Peter). I have been doing family research and not getting very far, so I know how much it means to get help (or photos) when you least expect it. My Greatgrandfather, Fred Russell, had this photo with his things. I have tried to connect it to my family, but I think it was just that they were good friends. I hope you enjoy the photo.
Thank you,
