Hi Jason - I was looking for something else and came across this:
From "Some Pioneer Families of Wisconsin - an Index" - WSGS 1977, page 118
Spilde, Hans b. 1813, Norway; d. 1893; m. Burgeson, Anna
Spilde, Lars H. b. 9 Feb. 1854, WI; d. 18 Apr. 1942; m.Davidson, Anna
page 17
Burgeson, Anna - b. 6 Jan 1823, Norway; d. 22 mar. 1914 - m. Hans Spilde.
I didn't find the other listing for Anna Davidson.

Ok, now that the Carrie Spilde daughter of Jens / Kari Heggestad has been linked I believe I have a link between my great great grandparents and my Norwegian ancestors.  Thanks Sidsel!  :-)  This Hans, Kari, and Anna Spildo also links Dag Spilde of Norway as a 3rd cousin to my dad and his children as my 4th cousins.

I'll chart out all the names and dates soon.

Hi Jason,
You're now "nearly positive" that Hans is John O?? ;-) Oh ye of little faith...  Would it help knowing that there's also strong evidence that Kari Heggestad = Carrie Spilde?
 
There are quite extensive church registers available for Hafslo.  I located Kari Heggestad, born 2nd December 1833.  Her parents were Jens Pedersen (b. ca.1807 d.1876) and Kari Nielsdatter (b. ca.1809 d.1847)
From "Ęttarbok for Granvin":
b. Hans 1829 -          Married to Kari Heggestad, Hafslo, Sogn.  Hans went to America 1849.
From notes on your web site:
This is from the Nov. 2, 1905 issue of the Brookings Register.
 
Carrie Spilde
Born - America
Died - Oct. 1905 - Brookings, SD
Parents - Jensen (last name, I assume?)
Married John O. Spilde 8 July 1859
 
"Born - America" in the obituary must be a mistake.  The rest fits with other available information.
 
I've included copies of relevant Heggestad records below.
 
regards,
Sidsel
 
 
I started by looking for Kari Heggestad in available emigration/passport records.  No sign of Kari, but I found another "Jensen Heggestad" that looked promising:

Then I went on to the chuch registers for Hafslo, looking for this Peder Jensen Heggestad's family.  It turns out Peder is one of Carrie's brothers.

Father's occupation: husmann (crofter/cotter).  Name of father's farm: As you can see, this has been registered in various creative variants - Turnebakken/Tornebakken/Bakken/Heggestad etc, i.e. Tornebakken or Turnebakken - a cotter's holding belonging to the Heggestad farm.
 
Carrie is Kari b. 1833.  There are two daughters named Kari and two named Anne/Anna.  Reuse of names when children died in infancy was common practice at the time. 
 
Death of Carrie's sister Karie/Kari b. 1830 :

The date/year data is obviously placed under the wrong column headings in this database, at least in the Enlish language version that Digitalarkivet provides.  Here "Year" should be 1830, "Date of death" 09.08 and "Date of burial" 14.08.  Similar corrections apply to all data from the "Burials in Hafslo" database.
