I do think this Minna Braastad is not the same as Mina Braastad. Her mother and father is Ole and Andrine. What do you think?

Regards
Ian

[Margit R Bakke]

I thought of that also, BUT the 1900 census says this:
1900 United States Federal Census about Mena Edgar
Name: Mena Edgar
[Alena Edgar]
Age: 36
Birth Date: Aug 1863
Birthplace: Norway

AND her daughters name is Andrine

[dn29219]

I think you are right. I see other houshold members (Thronstad) that are married to Minnas sister Jenny. Also she in USA. So there is some connection. Thanks again.

Ian
