Dalager Family Histories 
I’m curious to learn more about the Dalager family tree and am wondering if you have put together an extensive family tree that is accessible on the web. My father is William Ernest Dalager, Jr. from Glenwood, Minnesota. Wanda is his sister. I live in Superior, Wisconsin.
Thank you,
Doug Dalager
My father Lowell Lee was the half-brother of Esther Lee who was married to William Edious Dalager. He was the youngest child of the second marriage of his father, Hans Jurgensen Lee. I think that makes us cousins once removed! I have been tracing the history of the Jurgensen Lee family and think they came from the same place in Norway and shared ancestry with the Dalagers further back in Norway. I too would be interested in a Dalager family tree accessible on the web. Thanks, Alison

My name is Wayne Anderson and I am the Grandson of Adolph and Cora (Dalager) Anderson who would (I beleive) your Grand Aunt and Uncle. I have a family tree on Ancestry.com (Wayne Anderson Family Tree) which is a combination of a family tree developed by Jim and/or Steve Dalager and family trees of my Dad and Mother (Anderson and Wibstad) and my wife (Wagner and Guenther) all of Douglas county, MN.
I am the Grandson of Bennie Vindedahl. He and my Grandmother retired to Starbuck MN. after retiring
My Mother is Bernice Vindedahl.So many names and places I rember hearing stories about. I was born I Rolla ND where my grandparents moved when they left the farm the rented. In Rolla the were the custodians for the grade school. My memories are more stories I have heard as my family lift in 1951 when I was about 5 years old.
I am the great-granddaughter of Margaret Vangestad Hostager. Her sister was Anna Louisa Dalager. She is buried in Wanamingo, MN with her two daughters. She (Anna) apparently came to America after her husband died. There were two Hostager families in Wanamingo, they were cousins. A descendant of the “other” Hostager family did an extensive genealogy of the family, including pictures of the Hostager farm in Norway. It used to be online but was taken away a few years ago. Several Amle men married Hostager women and took the name Hostager. They were all living in Sogndahl.
Arfinn Arnfinnsen Hauståkre had a daughter, Guri, who married Sylfaest Lassesen Dalaker. In a blog entry from 21 Mar 2008, it is said she was baptized 15 Nov 1806.
However, this Guri died on 25 Dec 1806, and Arfinn had another daughter Guri baptized 18 Jun 1809, who at age 24 (as given in the record) married Sylfaest.
Just thought it should be noted for the record, since the error is repeated at Ancestry.com & other places.
