My 3x great grandmother Metta Pedersdaughter Offerdal, born1803, was married to Ola Johnsen Offerdal in 1826. He died 1836, and then she dissapear. She had a daughter Synneva, born 1822, with Hans Nilsen Offerdal. Syneva got married to Per Anderson Fodnes, and are supposed to have emigrated to USA in or around 1847, possibly with 2 children. It is possibly that Metta went with them. I am looking for any information that confirm wheater she left with them or not, and if anyone know anything at all about her.

Synneva and Peder had a son Peder in 1844, see #86
In 1846 they had the son Anders, see #1
Metta Pedersdatter was one of the witnesses.
Peder and Synneva with their two sons left for America 1847, see #13, 14, 15, 16
