Born in Norway, at Gol Hallingdal. In Norway, the last name was different. His father was Helge Aslagen Asselson. When they moved to the U.S.A., some of the family took the name Helgeson, some Berg, or Bergson.

Stanley Helgeson, his mother Barbara Steimgrim, and his paternal grand-mother Anne Christians. The Steimgrem's lived in an inland town called Gol, in the valley of Hallingdal, Buskerud county, Norway, about 100 miles from the city of Christiana, later changed to OSLO, Norway, where the Helge Aslagen family lived. Helge, Barbara, and sons came to America in 1866. Three (3) masted ships, and 300 passengers left Norway in 1866. After seven weeks on the ocean they finally landed at Quebec. They sailed down the St. Lawrence river to Toronto, then by train that fired cord wood. The train would stop and the able bodied men and boys got off and helped load cord wood for their further journey. It took fourteen weeks in all to get to Lansing, Iowa from their homeland in Norway. They lived mostly on sea biscuits on the boat trip to America. Stanley was 13 years old. He later went to Iowa (1871) where he met and married Nellie Aribelle Randall in 1878, at Waukon, Allamakee County, Iowa.

Stanley and his wife had 14 children - Henry Stephen, Caroline C, Anna Barbara, Cora, John, Nettie Grace, Ettie Belle, George Stanley, Roy Christian, Arthur Raymond, Maymie, Nellie Juanita, Lulu Percy, and Lester Melvin.
