Ingeborg Hansdotter Losnes and Kari Andersdatter Fladmoen

[gj23899]

I’m looking for more information about the family of my great great great grandmother, Ingeborg Hansdatter Losnes b. Nov 6 1812, Ringebu, d. Jan 3 1907, near Underwood, MN USA. Married to Ola Jonsen (Ole Johnson) Aune.
I’d also like to know more about her mother, Kari Andersdatter Fladmoen, born ca. 1784. Married to Hans Pedersen Hage in Ringebu on June 7, 1804.

According to Kenneth Pederson’s history of the Aune family, Ingeborg was a remarkable woman. She walked to what is now Oslo to train as a mid-wife at a medical school. She moved to Surnadal, and delivered 2195 babies in Norway between 1838 and 1878, and 58 more after emigrating to the United States. Her ten surviving children also emigrated. At the time of her death, she had 140 descendants, of which 119 survived.

Pederson states that Ingeborg was the fourth eldest of sixteen children, but I’ve only found ten. A few listed as Kari Andersdatter’s children on some sites may belong to a second wife.

One source, which seems to have the best information, names two wives for Hans:

1. Kari Andersdatter Hage (born Kolstad) (m. June 7, 1804)
Mother of Mari (1805), Peder (1808), Anne (1810), Ingeborg (1812), Maren (1815), Anders (1818), Marie (1821)

2. Kari Olsdatter Hage (born Handbakken) (m. Nov. 15, 1826)
Mother of Kari (1827), Marit (1830), and Mari (1834)

This source identifies Kari as Kolstad, but doesn’t name her parents. Pederson identifies her as Fladmoen, but doesn’t name her parents.

Does anyone have more information on Ingeborg’s siblings or her mother’s parents?

Could this be Kari’s baptism?Parents Anders Olsen, Kolstad and Anne Jacobsdatter.

After I posted this, I did another search, even though I thought I had exhausted all other possibilities. I found a website that covers Kari and her children and her parents etc. It confirms the Kolstad name for Kari. I'll change the birthdate for Ingeborg as well.

The number of children still doesn't add up to 16 for Hans' two wives. That number comes from the journals Ingeborg and her husband kept, or I wouldn't trust it at all. At least I have a lot more information.

I have all of Ingeborg descendants from Kenneth Pederson's book on my myheritage tree, and updated them as well as I could. The families were very large so it took a long time to enter them. I'm not sure I have the energy to redo it on geni. If anyone is interested, you can contact me and I can invite you to join the tree.

Thanks so much for your help.
