| Is the 1865 Census for Nannestad incomplete. Can't find jens Hansen (1823, wife Anne Ingelsdatter (1821) Living Children: Birthe Marie (1847), Hermann (1849), Johan Gustav (1854) Lars Christian (1856), Olavus (1859), Edvard (1862) & Harold (1864). Can't find them on 1875 other than Johanne is found in Ullensaker, Akershus. Also Johanne Jensdatter has a daughter born out of wedlock and named Lena (19 Nov 1877) in Vestre Aker, Oslo. Supposedly emigrated in 1881 to America. No trace of emigration but Lena is found in Kragness, Clay, Minnesota and marries John Dolan in Cuba, Becker, MN. Any help with Census, emigration for Johanne and daughter Lena or where abouts of Johanne in America welcome. Lena takes the name Melby and there is a Johanne Melby in Cuba, Becker, MN but she is married to Gulbrand Larsen and her name was Johanne Ericksdatter. |

| Did follow up on Johan Gustav and Else Marie Olsdatter. They came to Minnesota and ended up at the end of their life in Inverway, Mackenzie, Saskatchewan, Canada. I will follow up on these leads for Olaus in Sundby, Akershus and Gustav Jensen in Lybaek, Akershus, Lars Jensen in Knepper, Akershus and Hermand Jensen in Ullensaker. Maybe I can find more on them. I was not aware that I could access Bygdeboks thru Family Search.org. Will try to learn how to do that. The parish records for Nannestad are daunting. I can not seem to adapt to the style of writing. These other parishes may yield more information for me and clearer handwriting. Thank you so much. I was hoping that Johanne Jensdatter did marry someone from a Melby farm which would explain why her daughter Lena used that name on her marriage record. I will keep looking for a clue. Thanks for finding them and giving me hope. |

A family tree says Berte Marie Jensdatter b 1847 Nannestad married Olaus Erikson and died in Clay county, Minnesota, USA:
http://www.geni.com/people/Berte-Jensdatter/6000000032009649344
Tree has Jens Hansen Bjerkeeiet b 1823, died 1883 at Rudseiet, Bjerke, Nannestad.
On Moløkken in 1900 is Lars Evensen Melby with two children born in Dakota, USA. I found no connection so far.
Cheryl, you have a marriage record for Lena? To help find out more about Lena and her mother Johanne, as you asked, the forum is much boosted if you share records and other evidence you already have. Thanks.

The marriage is recorded in the ELCA marriages database as occuring in Lake Park Lutheran on 29 Dec 1897. Lina's birthdate is recorded as 19 July 1879 born in Kristiania to parents Erik Krostophenson (most unusual rendering of the name) and Johanne Jensdatter.
There is a death record in the same church for Johanne Melby who was married to Gulbrand Melby. Her birthdate is given as 24 Aug 1828 (I'll check the year again) in Nannestad. She died 3 April 1912.
Pending my recheck of her birth year, the difference does create a question in my mind, how did you arrive at a birthdate of 1852 for your Johanne Jensdatter? |

The Minnesota state census 1905 Lina age 27 states that she has lived in Minnesota for 24 years.
There is this 3 1/2 year old Lina Jens* leaving Nannestad in 1881 with Herman Jensen, heading to Lake Park, Minnesota:

A Herman Jenson is boarding with Lina and John in 1900. |

| I do not have an actual record of the marriage but the local Museum has a card file. Once I had that date, Ancestry brought up the marriage information. Do not confuse Johanne Ericksdatter with Johanne Jensdatter. I have researched Johanne Ericksdatter and she also had a child out of wedlock, Married Gulbrand Larsen in Norway and they together had a son. They are buried at Lake Park, Minnesota. They are in this family also but she was easier for me to track in the Digital Archives. If the 3 1/2 year old Lina left Norway with her Uncles and not her Mother, then the Mother may have died. I will try and check that. On the census information you found: "Again using the search engine on Ancestry.com" Are you able to instruct me as to how I find a search engine on Ancestry.com? I did not know this existed. Absolutely incredible how much great information you have found! More than I hoped for. |
