| Stopping by with a brief comment. There was an early Scandinavian Lutheran Church at Grand Meadow, Minnesota. The church book is available online at Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELCA) archives, at Ancestry.com. Since Anne lived at Grand Meadow in 1880, maybe some trace of her can be found in that churchbook. I can't look today... |

The ELCA databases seem to be connected to the main search engine at Ancestry.
Hmmm I just looked at a family tree database that gives Anne's maiden name as Erickson Haugen. It is unsourced so I wonder where that came from.. |

Dont look to much at the family trees a Ancestry (these or other), there is a lot of wrong information there!!
I think some people just find some info at Google and think, yes that have to be correct , and notice it :-P
I have found a lot of wrong info there!! |

On the Ancestry.com Start Page go to "Birth, Marriage, Death"
Then click on the box labeled "View all in Card Catalog"
Type in ELCA in the left hand box labeled Keyword(s)
Hit Search and you should find it labeled
Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Records, 1875-1940 |

Yes I agree Anton this is the family. Other census research found an Alma Knudson living with her sister Mary Phares in Colorado in 1930. And brother Herman died in 1959 but no surviving siblings are mentioned in his obituary.
Thanks Anton I think I have them now N. Odalen is origin, here is Knut :

Search in baptisms of Nord Odal from 1852-1855 found no Anne born Dec in any of those years whose patronymic was G...... or Eriksdatter. So probably not a pertinent line of research. |

I have found Annes mothers death, not able to locate her father, but from the churchrec. I can read that she was not a widow when she died Dec 1871
And I have found that there is no bygdebok for Ådalen where Erick as born.
I still try to find someone with the bygdebok for Øystre Slidre, but no luck yet :-P

| The son John Seaverson's death record gives his father's name as Johan rather than John. |
