Since Saeterdalen (Setesdalen) is mentioned she can be from Hornnes in Evje

A good candidate.
Born April 18. 1887 in Horness.
Parents; "Leilending" Leaseholder Nils Nilsen and Gunhild Gunnufsdatter Birkeland, bottom page #8

The Mils in the Ancestry.com listing could be Nis Nilsen Birkeland. However he left Norway a day before Anna. Also his name of Nilsen would cast some doubt on the identification of the father of Anna being named Aanen Reiersen by the Ancestry.com Family Tree.

I think Kċre has the right Anna, Here is Nils born in 1889 with the same father and mother as Anna above. See number 20.
