   Martin Kokkin in 1914 homesteaded land in twp 154 N, range 97 W, sections 34 and 35 in McKenzie County according to Bureau of Land Management records. Do any of you know if this was Marius Kokkin born in 1882 in Asnes, Norway? If he was, he may fit into a family I’m researching.
   Bernhardt Kokkin and Albert Kokkin were in township 149, range 102, section 19. Their sister Emma Kokkin and her husband Frank Rozelle were in township 155 N, range 96 W, section 7. Information about Emma and Frank Rozelle is from the June 21, 1917 issue of the Ray Pioneer newspaper in addition to BLM records.
   They had cousins Marius, born in 1882; Svend, born in 1879; and Peter, born in 1874, who came to the United States and I am trying to find them. I do not know if they used Kokkin, Olsen or Pedersen for a last name. Einar Olsen Kokkin (brother of Marius, Svend and Peter) was in the U.S. but returned to Norway. They were sons of Ole Pedersen, born in1848, who came to the U.S. Their mother, Anne Marie Einersdatter Kokkin, born in 1849, stayed in Norway.
   Because Bennie, Albert and Emma were in that part of North Dakota, I am wondering if this Martin Kokkin in twp 154 N is their cousin. Does anyone know?
   Thank you in advance for any help or information..
