A Find-A-Grave record for the 1908 Carolina gives a birth year of 1878, very close to the Caroline married to Andrew and living in south Minneaplis.

ELCA lists her age as 30, and born in Norway.

I wonder if Andrew (Auden?) Olsen remarried after the death of his first wife Caroline.
Auden O Olsen

Name: Auden O Olsen
Event Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 22 Apr 1911
Marriage Place: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Spouse: Gunda Lund
Spouse Birth Place: Norge
Church Name: Bethlehem
Church Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
And then they had a child named after a relative Torstein Olsen and also using his middle name?
Torstein Auden Olsen

Birth Date: 30 Nov 1920

It's always amazing that things can be found in the Archives ELCA databases at Ancestry which can't be found at Archives itself!
So Caroline Hansen was born in Sannes, Norway and Auden or Andrew Olsen was born in Christiansund?
According to the 1905 census both Caroline and Auden / Andrew have been 7 years in Minnesota. |

In 1918, he is up in Osseo, still a part of Hennepin County but no longer in south Minneapolis, but with wife Gunda. Also maybe spelled Anden?
