My grandmother's name was Marie Fredrikke Rhode who was born in Norway on Nov. 22, 1874. She emigrated to US with her mother about 1869. Her father's name was Ingemar Ludvig Fredrik W. Rhode. Her mother's name was Anne or Anna Marge Pedersdatter. I'm not sure what part of Norway they were from but I have some unidentified pictures with a Christiana location stamped on them. I would like to find more information on Ingemar and Anna. My grandmother and her mother eventually ended up in North Dakota. Thank you for any help anyone can give me.

Anne Pettersdatter and Marie are in the 1875 census for Christiana Click Here Anne was born in Norderhov Præsteg, Buskerud and Marie in Vestre Aker, Akershus.

Is there someplace on the internet that I can find a map of Norway that would have towns from the 1800's on it? I've been looking in an atlas I have but it doesn't have the places where my great grandmother and grandmother were born.
I hope I am writing this inquiry in the right place. I'm new to this site and not familiar with the rules yet.
Thanks.

Thanks so, Kaare. I'm having a little trouble navigating in Norwegian but I now know the general area.
