I have a Hegg family in my tree from Ostfold, settled in Racine, WI, to
Harmony, MN. They were hard to trace because they NEVER used the name Hegg
in Norway, didn't live on or near a Hegg farm and didn't take the name Hegg
here in the US until they had been here for more than 20 years. They
apparently knew the family of Hans Heg (civil war hero) in Racine and took
the name in his honor.
