The above-mentioned is the illegitimate daughter of my grandmother's aunt Barbro Eriksdaughter. This Ragnhild came as a surprise - we have looked for Ragnhild Iversdaughter Einang, who was Barbro's legitimate daughter.
What I have found out about the illegitimate daughter, is that she was born in Røn, Vestre Slidre, Oppland, on January 12, 1865. Her father is mentioned as a Halvor Knutsen. Ragnhild was baptized in Slidre January 29, 1865, and her confirmation took place in the same county on May 23, 1880. She left Norway via Oslo/Kristiania on the Angelo on April 18, 1888, 23 years old. The ship was set for New York.
I do not know what happened to Ragnhild Halvorsdaughter Einang. Did she arrive in New York? Is it possible to trace her after that?
Yours sincerely,
