I am looking for Anna Maria b. Kvinnherad March 3. 1877. She emmigrated to US 1905 and said she was going to Fonda, Iowa. She used the surname Fausk in the record, think she grew up at Fausk. Her mother was Martha Eilivsdtr. Sandvig and father Lars Martin Ellingsen.
I did find a candidate in Grant, Pocahontas Co. married to Ole J. Johnson. Marie Johnson, the birth and immigrasjon year fit for my Anna Maria.
Thank you Magnar.

She arrived at Ellis Island, New York, and was headed to friend Lars Seglem in Fonda, Pocahontas County, Iowa.
Here and here is some info related to Lars Seglem.
