Pettersen/Smedstad/Olsen/Rodvald/Svedjan/Bunaes

I have been trying to track down Hjordis Sylfride Juliane Pettersen (b.8 Feb 1899 in Oslo, Norway, d.28 Jul 1973 in St. Edouard, Alberta). Her mother was Julia Pettersen F. Kristiansen, a widow and laundry worker who likely came from the Drammen area. Hjordis’ baptismal certificate from the Jacobs Congregation in Oslo on Feb 26, 1899 shows the father to be Jens Hansen Smedstad (may have been born in 1853), a single man, common laborer. The parents’ address was Smestad, Gjerdrum and Jens was employed by Antwort, Storgd.15 and we believe Julia at Maribogd. 8. Any further information on either Jens or Julia has not been fruitful. However, I did come across information in the Norwegian Digital Archives at the link below. I wondered whether this could be Hjordis, but with a different spelling. The reference in the bottom right next to her name loosely translates as “Daughter of No 2 applied later” from what I can gather. Allegedly, Hjordis had a half-sister named Olga and Hjordis’ year of birth listed is 1899, which is also similar. http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=43&filnamn=f00602&gardpostnr=757&personpostnr=3657#nedre Julia and Hjordis left Norway without Jens when Hjordis was between 6 years old and landed in the Osakis, MN area where she met and married John Rodvold. She died about 2 years after they married. From what is known, Julia’s husband was a brother to Joe Swedgan/Olsen's wife (Joe may have been short for John). I have been unable to find any reference to Julia, John, or any sort of marriage documents or death certificates in the Osakis area. Below is another link to a ship’s record that shows a J Pettersen and H Pettersen travelling to Chicago on the Corsican in 1907, but I am unsure if these people are Julie and Hjordis. http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=1263&iid=IMCANQC1865_T492-00711&fn=J&ln=Pettersen&st=r&ssrc=&pid=5739060 Hjordis married Iver Svedjan (b. Feb 22, 1885 in Meraker, d. Sep 6 1961 in St. Paul, Alberta), brother to John Olsen Svedjan, in Osakis, MN on Aug 4, 1917. I have solid information from that point forward.
