[gj09303]

Hei

Karen Maria Jensdatter blir født 28. april 1846 og døpes i Bakke kirke, nr 127:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20051121010903

I 1881 emigrerer hun til USA.

Det sto et sted - antagelig på Digitalarkivets gamle nettside som ikke lenger er tilgjengelig - at hun skulle til Hudson og reiste med båten Rollo.

Men hvor ble hun av? Hun var ugift da hun reiste. Stiftet hun familie i USA?

Hi Vivi,

It looks like she was going to Hudson, Wisconsin.

Hei!
I find a Karen Ronningen in the 1900 census still in Otter Tail county (married to Hans)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M93W-PQ8

Margit did you find a record that "Karen Maria" married Hans Runningen?

Karen and Hans are both buried at the same cemetery

Vivi.
Vet du om et annet etternavn hun kan ha brukt? Hva brukte søsknene?

[Margit R Bakke]

I wrote above that it is NOT her.

Søsknene brukte Jensen, så vidt jeg vet,
De bodde på gården Sønju (eller Sønjueie).

ser ut som hun reiser sammen med Anne Thorvaldsen, hvis det kan være til hjelp for videre leting i USA

Hei igjen
Anne Thorvaldsdatter (Sonju) also has a family tree at FS
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedig ... e/KFCN-BJJ

She was married 1882 in Barron county (Cumberland), WI.

Wonder where Karen settled!

Hei

En Thorvald K. Sønju var blant fadderne til en av Karens søsken.

Denne Anne virker være et godt spor ...
