The History of the Landmark-Haugen Families: An American Story

By Victor DiGenti

Hans Haugen and Hjalmar Landmark rode the waves of European immigration to this country during the late 1800s and early 1900s. They brought little with them except their innate intelligence and a fierce determination to build a better life for themselves and their families. Their family lines merged when Adolph Haugen married Bernice Landmark, giving rise to generations of men and women who shared the dream that brought their grandfathers to this country,

The Haugen and Landmark families are part of the American social revolution John F. Kennedy wrote about in his book, A Nation of Immigrants. Kennedy wrote, they were “people eager to build lives for themselves in a spacious society that did not restrict their choices and actions.”
