Looking for Norwegian grandmother
kstevens	My mother's mother was Anne Olson who emigrated to USA from Norway in the early 1900's. She married Syver Stenseth in North Dakota in 1905. She died in North Dakota in 1918. I would like information regarding her birthplace or residence in Norway, any current relatives, and how she came to USA. My mother and all her siblings are deceased so I have no means of acquiring information from family. Bless you for any help as I will be traveling to Norway this month and hope to visit her home.
kstevens	Thanks Harald for your quick work on Anne Olsen. I knew the name would be difficult. I believe the Anna Olsdatter was the girlfriend and eventual wife of Syver Stenseth. The Nilsen Fladmarken on the emigration list with Syver and Anna was a witness to the marriage of Syver Stenseth and Anne Olsen May 20, 1905 in Mayville, North Dakota. Anne was listed as 26 years old at that time which would coincide with the birthdate listed for the Anna Olsdatter on the emigration list. Can you find more information on Anna Olsdatter?Again Thanks, Karen Stevens
hasto	Unforunately Anne Olsen is a very common Norwegian name. In 1900 census there are more than 4200 Anne Olsen/Olsdatter. Very often Norwegian emigrants in US married someone from their own location back in Norway. Syver Stenseth is more easy to locate. He was from Steinset in Etnedalen parish, Oppland county.

Or is she a girlfriend? Perhaps his eldest brother Lars Olsen on the farm in 1900 census: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f00541&gardpostnr=300#nedre
