The Norbecks of South Dakota
George Norbeck (1836-1917) was born in the Parish of Alsen, in the Province of Jemtland, Sweden. His original birth name was Göran Person Kjöstad. Norbeck is an adopted name meaning "north brook," a place located on the old family estate of Uppland where his father was born. He had a brother, Oluf, who went by the name of Person; the other brother, Christian, went by Röde. George/Göran married Karen Larsdatter Kongsvik (1843-1893) in 1869. She was born at Trondhjem, Norway. They both emigrated to America. They settled in Rhoda Twp., Charles Mix Co., South Dakota in 1886.
