NOTES FROM JIM:
 
- This summer (1998) we made contact with the Klemmetsruds of Osage Iowa, in northern Iowa.
  Aunt Anne Hall said that little Jon first visited US and stayed with both a brother in MPLS (Jonas?)
  and a sister in Iowa (maybe around Osage, probably either sister Gunhild or Anne are the best possibilities).
  Anne came over and also visited these families before the whole family came to the US in 1909.
 
- Apparently Halstein bought or inherited the family land in Klemmetsrud and then latter sold some (or all)
  to Little Jon. They shared this ownership for a time.  There is no record in the material we have that
  clarifies what happened to Halstein. It is stated that Little Jon sold his land when he moved to the US.
  
- Little Jon reportedly visited US (maybe before marrying Inger??) then returned to Norway to take care of his
  parents until they died.  Is that when he bought into the family land holdings and shared with Halstein?
 
- Which sister might have moved to Iowa is unknown.   Whether she was married before coming or not is also unknown.
   
- Jonas move to the US in 1868 corresponded to the influx of many norwegians and most of the Klemmetsruds of Osage
  Iowa are included in that group. When Little Jon moved his family to US in 1909 there weren't apparently many new
  arrivals settling in Iowa. Is that why the family settled in Fox? I have the name Moen written down as a contact
  in the Fox area, but there are now Moens in that area now. There are many Moens in northwest Minnesota however.
