Jeg har et problem med å finne ut hans far.
I 1900 er han og moren i Madison S-Dakota og moren heter Thea og er enke, hun er født mar 1859 i Norge.
Louis født 30 mar 1889 i Minnesota

In the 1900 census Louis and Thea are listed with:

Ingebret O. Westby, 71, born Sep 1828 in Norway
Annie Westby, 71, born Dec 1828 in Norway

They both came to America in 1887, the same as Thea. Maybe these are the parents of Louis's father. They might have all came to America at the same time, maybe you can find immigration records in Norway.

Engebret O. Westby died in Madison, Lake Co., South Dakota on 23 Sep 1914.

When Louis Westby registered for the World War One draft, he gave his date of birth as
30 March 1889 and said he was born in Fulda, Minnesota.

I had someone look at the birth record, the parents of a baby boy (not named), born
on 30 March 1889 in Fulda, Minnesota were Louis and Thea Westby. So, the father of
Louis Westby was also named Louis Westby.

Thank you very much.
Louis ( Lars in Norwegian ) are probable Engebret Olsen Westby's son.
Engebret had a son lars born 1867 who emigrated to USA.
I suspected this.

The Engebret Westby in Fulda, Minnesota was born about 1828. In the next town there
was a man named Isak Westby, born about 1826. Maybe Isak and Engebret were brothers.

No they wasn't brothers, but nearly nabours in Norway.
Engebret Westby did not have any brothers thar I can see.
