My great grandmother was named Sanna Theodora Sofia knutsdatter of Hundsnes in Rogaland. 24 Mar 1873 birthdate She immigrated in 1892 I have found no ship list listing her.In America she choose Olson as her last name, and she immigrated in 1892.The state she came to was Iowa.I have a picture of her with her sister, but I have no name of the sister, she had many.She had many siblings and I have tried in vain to locate what happened to them if anyone could provide insight into this I would appreciate it. Takk, Amy Peterson
Was Olsen her married name? It seems quite odd that she did not go by a variation of Knutsdatter. How do you know she immigrated in 1892? From a census?
What were her parents names? When did she die? More information on this side of the pond would help.
Her married name was Peterson.I got the immigration date off of the 1900 census as she passed away in 1905 from TB. Her fathers name was Knut Olsen Hundsnes 1833-1892 Mother Synnøva Sigvesdatter Hundsnes 1840-
I should have added that her father was a Sailor.He was also in south America at some time.So they moved some.But she had siblings their names are Severine Emilie 1865- Sigvart 1867- Olaus Andreas 1869- Karl Severin 1879- Hanna Severine 1891-1892 Sjur Retsius 1888 Her father,and youngest sister died in1892 and she immigrated in 1892.I thought that was odd.I am curious about the siblings.I can't seem to find anything at all on them.
