The following information is given:

Children:

Washington State and Territorial Censuses, 1857-1892 about Peter Helseth (enclosed)
the following names occur:
Helseth, Jens G. , 32 years, m.farmer
Helseth, Margareth , 37 years f. (her name was later changed to Margit)
Helseth, Engebor, 12 years f. (born approx.. 1875)
Helseth, Peter, 6 years m.
Helseth, Anton, 4 years
Margareth (Margit) Pedersdatter Andersen (born Rukke was a widow after Anton Andersen in Hurum Norway.
She married him July 18.1880 and became a widow in 1886. On July 29.1886 she and the two boys emigrated to USA.
In April 1887 I find her again, ref the link above, now married to Jens Gundersen Helseth.
The two boys from her first marriage in 1880 were adopted by her new husband Jens Gundersen Helseth and named Peter Andersen Helseth and Anton Andersen Helseth.
The big questions are those of Engebor or Engeborg and her mother. She was born after Jens G. Helseth emigrated in 1870 and before he married Margit Pedersdatter in 1886/87.
Who was the mother of Engebor/Engeborg? Was Jens married with the mother of Engebor?
Was Jens married two times (he was only 15 upon arrival), first in USA before 1875 and the second time with Margit. after she arrived in 1886?

Hei

Har du dokumentasjon på at Margit bare hadde med seg to gutter da hun emigrerte i 1886?

I 1887-tellingen er hun nemlig oppgitt å være født i Norge. Derfor jeg spør om hun også kan være datter av Margit?

Mvh
Vigdis

Ingeborg var nok Margits datter! Arne burde ha sagt fra om at hun er funnet!
Se denne tråden, Hun ble født 14/5 1875, og er Margits barn født utenfor ekteskap.

Og her er hun også etterlyst;
