I dont think this one matches her age. IF this is from 1900 Census. Gina(GENA) would be 12.

Something has to give, her birthdate is given as Sept 1888 so perhaps she is one thing --21 years-- or born Sept 88-- or perhaps the census taker was math challenged.

Could be. Anything is possible date of births could be off.

Update- Not Bernt Andersons illigitimate daughter, she was his grand daughter.
So I found Gena's passage to America. She came in 1903 through New York. Her name is Georgine(Jorgine) Elfrida(Alfrida) Oleson(Olesdatter). I show her being born in 1888, but as we all know that could be off a few years. Her gravesite shows 1886. Her parents were Elise Fredrikke Berntsdatter and Ole Olsen. They were married in Oslo May 25, 1884. I cant find much on them after that, especially Ole.
If anyone can help find Gena's birth record, baptism records and any other records for Elise or Ole after their marriage, that would be great. I have more info on Elise before they were married, but nothing after. Also, if they came to America as well.
Thanks :):)

Woo hoo!

Here are probably Elise and Jørgine in 1900 in Kristiania:

Most likely Elise (possibly husband and another child?) in Oslo1885:
