My grandmother was born Kari Aarhus near Evanger Norway on October 8, 1898. She was baptised on 11/5/1898 and confirmed on 10/5/1913. Her parents were Johannes Aarhus and Guri Mestad. Can you tell me anything about either of her parents? Thanks.

Can you confirm where Kari Aarhus was born? Was this a farm called "Aarhus" or a village? Is this located near Evanger? She told me she was confirmed at the Evanger Church. We would like to visit the area where she was born (10/8/1898). Do you have a map to indicate the area? Thanks.

When Kari Johnsdatter ( = Kari Aarhus) was born the parents were living at Aarhus. (ref column for "Forældrenes Bopæl) - it is a farm approx 10 miles from Evanger church - both places indicated on this map.

Evanger church.

The confirmation record for Kari Johnsdatter, Aarhus is #19.
