Norwegian immigrants came to the U.S to farm. They settled in Minnesota and Iowa. Norwegians eat fish and lamb but my family does not. In Norway the average pay they received each year was in between $40-$60 a year. In America they averaged $4-$5 a day. I was able to trace the Holven family back to the 1900's. (This is my mother's family). Her name is Mable Holven and she lives in Decorah, Iowa (source: ancestry.com).
