Hi, Anna was b. out of wedlock July 30. 1858 in Kvinnherad. Parents Ingeborg Johnsdt. Fedt and Lars Hanson Storegjerde.
Anna grew up with her grand parents Hans Olson b.1810 and Anna Olson b. 1800. My Anna immigrated with her grandparents 1866. I do think they settled in Iowa. Her mother came in 1881 and is buried in Kvinnherred Cemetery , Calamus, Clinton. Don't think there has been any Connection. Her father immigrated 1862, he was b. february 9. 1838.
I did find a Anna Olson who married a Jacob H. Jacobson in Story City January 5. 1921. Anna's parents was Lewis Olson and Isabelle Johnson. Could 1825 census tell us more? Thank you Magnar.

Hi, I do think this is solved. I am pretty sure Anna married Hans I Dosland ( Døssland), don't know when and whee. They lived in Berlin Twp. Clinton Co. for some time.
So than I think her mother met her daugther in Clinton, Iowa.

Magnar.

This Find-A-Grave website would indicate that Anna was married twice? Although the identification of her second husband could be wrong?

The 1910 US Census would indicate that her second husband was named Lars Olson. Note the two Dosland Children from her first marriage are living with her and new husband.

Probably her in the 1920 US Census with her daughter from her first marriage. Maybe a little confusing with all the variations in ages and arrival date.

Here is the 1925 Iowa State Census and where the confusion starts. Did Anna marry for the third time to Jacob Jacobson and are her parents really Lewis Olson and Isabella Johnson, and who is the mother of Minnie Jacobson?

It may be that Minnie Jacobson has a different mother than Anna.

Minnie Jacobson in the Iowa, Births and Christenings Index, 1857-1947
Name: Minnie Jacobson
Birth Date: 2 Feb 1898
Birth Place: Franklin Twp, Story, Iowa
Father's name: J H Jacobson
Mother's name: Sarah Olson
FHL Film Number: 1404577

Also Find-A-Grave

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=103305784&ref=acom

And her mother died in 1916, so it is possible that Anna was married three times.

Hi, Thank you, Yes I do think you have found her grandparents. A aunt of Anna was married to a brother of Lars M. Olson. Magnar.
