Erik and Jon

I have been searching the 1900 and 1910 for these men for Erik. I can
access Genealogy.com which has an index. The best way to search through
that site is by state and then name. Since there are so many states
between Minnesota (where Peter was in 1880) and Washington (where
Jorgen/John was in 1880), it takes a while. I have searched Wang
township, Renville county Minnesota in 1900 line by line, and know that
Peter was not living there any longer by then. Perhaps someone has
access to the 1900 soundex for the western states (Genealogy.com does
not use a soundex index system, just alphabetical order).
On the Washington state GenWeb site there is an index to the 1910
census, unfortunately I was not seeing any close matches. Erik, perhaps
you would recognize the heads of household better than I?

Good luck
