    Notes 
    • After Kristoffer died, she took her three youngest children to the U.S. and lived with the children who were already there.

      The Weflen Family Tree says that she came to the U.S. in 1901, arriving in Maine in April with her son Christopher with both headed for Hoffman, Minnesota, where, apparently, Knut lived. The Weflen Family Tree says she died in Mountrail, ND, in 1923.

      In the 1910 census, she lives with her youngest son in Mountrail County, North Dakota. The census form shows her as having had 8 children, 7 still living.
