My husbands great, great, great grandmother is known as Carrie Hamre. However, as I have been researching her family tree through ancestry.com I've found that she immigrated to America in 1842 from Norway. When I first found "Kari Gulbrandsdatter Hamre" on the passenger list of 1842, I thought "this must be her" but then realized "she" was notated as a male. But my husband pointed out that in Noway the children always have their father's names as part of their names, i.e. "Gulbrand's datter" for girls or "Gulbrand's sen" for boys. Is it possible that she was notated accidentally as a he? Her birthday is December 1833 which fits perfectly with the age listed. And I found information listing her supposed mother as having been buried on Mount Morris, Wisconsin, where most of my husband's Norwegian relatives are buried including our Carrie Hamre. A lot my husband's family still live in Waushara County, Wisconsin. I've included the only other Kari Gulbrandsdatters/Gulliksdatters that I could find on ancestry.com and they immigrated later so it can't be them.
