Yes for the faddernes (witnesses or godparents) there are Simon Mortenson (or Martinson), carpenter, and his wife Jorgine;
Hjalmar Olsen, unmarried girl Theresse Pettersen, Jakob Vilhelmson Byhuset (?)

The half-sister Olga is listed as being born about 1876 so unlikely to be Julie's child but more likely to be the child of Julie's Petterson husband, unless Olga's birthyear is different.

Most likely Jens Hansen in 1865.

Jens born Febr 2 1853, parents were then living on nordre Braadal, see #13.

When Hjørdis was born Jens and Julia were not married. In the 1900 census from Drammen Julia is shown as a married woman, who she was married to is not shown.

I found out recently that Hjordis (b. 8 Feb 1899 in Drammen/Olso), had an aunt by the name of Anne Kristine Johnson. But, I've hit a wall. There is a reference to a funeral bulletin that contained the following information:

Anne Kristine Johnson was born to Anne and Christian Johnson on Sept.25, 1870 at Drammen, Norway and died Dec.19, 1961. She came to this country at age 18 and spent her entire life in the Gordon Community. She was united in marriage to John O. Johnson on October 26, 1896. To this union were born nine children: eight of whom survive her passing. Olga, Clara, Lara, Freda, Millie, Carl of Longview, Wash., Clifford of Lebanon, Ore., Bryan of Alexandria; one son William passed away on Dec.11, 1959. Mr. Johnson preceded his wife Aug.4, 1939.

Service Dec.22, 1961, Salem Lutheran Church, Osakis, MN.
..........
The problem is the last name Johnson. Hjordis' grandparents' names were Kristian Jenssen (b.abt 1825) and Olea Kristensdatter (b. abt 1824). There is an Anne K Kristensdatter listed as one of her mother's sisters (Julia Kristensdatter/Bunaes) who was born in Eidsvoll, Akershus, Norway in 1869. I have looked to census info in Drammen for the period of 1870, but not all the information has been archived yet. Julia's other siblings are: Anton (b. abt.1855 in Eidsvoll), Karl (b. 30 Aug 1860 in Eidsvoll), and Olaf Bunaes (b. 8 Apr 1864 in Bunaes).


Julia, Hjordis, and this mystery aunt settled in the Osakis, MN area.

The reason for their emigration is quite obvious.
Julia was a cleaner in the Norwegian 1900-census, and as a widow with a young child, her finances must have been quite low.
Her brother in Osakis, MN probably sent her letters about the life he lived over there, and that there were good paid jobs for her too, most likely as maid or similar.
The economic growth in America was high, and there were jobs for "everyone". The situation in Norway was the opposite. The death-rate decreased, the population increased, and there were not enough jobs for people. Between 1825 - 1930 more than 800000 norwegians emigrated to America.

Oluf also paid for the ticket for her and his niece.

- Olaf Bunaes was born at Bunæsmoen in Eidsvoll, ref #22 here.

Other siblings recorded in 1875.

Anne Kristine Christiansdatter was born Sept 25 1869, see #46.
This is most likely the aunt you are looking for.

Anne Kristine was known as an aunt to Hjordis, therefore, possibly, sister to her mother, Julia.
