Here is the 1950 US Census for Ernest O Jordal, wife Marguerite (Preiss) and their two youngest daughters, Janice Elaine and Nancy Ann living in South Grove Township, DeKalb county, Illinois.
The Jordal family can be found on lines 7 - 10 of the US Census. Ernest was employed as a farmer.
An interesting note: Marguerite's brother Max Preiss was living next door to Verlis Finnestad, the brother of Kenneth Finnestad who was the husband of Ernest's sister, Lillian Jordal. Another Preiss connection: Ernest and Lillian's youngest sister, Evelyn Jordal was married to Marguerite and Max's brother, Charles Preiss. A very small world with many entwining relationships.
Ernest Jordal was son of Ingebor (Haldorsdatter Mæland) and Omund Olson Jordal and grandson of Sigri Gunnersdatter and Ole Larson.
