Christi Hansdatter Fardahl

From the Find a grave website:

Christi Hansdatter Vikheim came from Norway in 1856 along with her younger brother Niels. They first stopped in the area of Madison, Wisconsin where they may have met Jens Fardahl's father who has left Norway in about 1854. Jens and Christi Hansdatter Vikheim were married in Kenyon in 1858, two months after Minnesota became a state.

In 1854 Jens Anfinson Fardahl homesteaded and his land title carries the signature of President James K. Polk. The farm now occupied by Jens and Christi's great grandson, James Overby, has been in that family bloodline for one hundred and twenty six years. The farms acquired by Jens Fardahl, totaling about 640 acres, are the best soil found in Goodhue County. The land is located in Cherry Grove Township between Kenyon and Wanamingo.
