The wife of Johan Pedersen Finstuen was Penille Hansdatter. She was born July 24, 1843. Parents are Hans Xstiansen and Agnethe Andersdatter Gjerdahlen. A little hard to read the last name of Agnethe could be Arnesdatter"

Number 144

Confirmation

Number 26

Perhaps these are the parents in the 1865 Census
