    Notes 
    • She is Randi Torsteinsdatter Syndrol, I7080, in Jim’s VS.

      Her family farm name was called Sönderold in her birth record.

      In the 1865 Norwegian census, she is 12 years old and living with her parents and siblings on Søndrohl, mitre, in Vang.

      This Randi is the Rangdi Søndvol to whom Ove Ovesen Ellingbø refers in his 1896 letter to his mother. According to Trudy: “She first married Torstein Flaten from Bøaflatadn in Vang. They lived in Minneapolis until Torstein died in 1895. She took the children back to Norway for a few months and then went back to Minnesota, settling in Sunburg where she married Torstein Hollen, born in Hoverstad 63 in Vang. He was a widower with children. They had 2 children. She died in Minneapolis in 1909 and he died in Sunburg in 1930. I don't know if they stayed married or not.”

      Called “Maude” in the 1885 state census.

      In the 1895 Minnesota census, she (Randa) and her family lived at 1604 E. Lake Street in Minneapolis. Tosten, 47, was a “dairyman.”

      In the 1900 federal census, she and her second husband, Thosten Hollen, and her and their children lived in Kerkhoven Twp, Swift County. Randi came to the U.S. in 1869 and Thosten in 1866. Randi had had 10 children, 9 still living. The children from her first marriage that were living with her were Baldor, 14 (b. Feb 1886), Nordal, 12 (b. Jan 1888), and Walter, 9 (b. July 1890).

      In the 1905 state census, Tosten and his and her children still lived in Kerkhoven. Rangdy, however, along with four of her children from her first marriage were living separately on a farm in Murdock, Kerkhoven Twp. Rangdy and her children are listed with the last name Flattan. Those children are: Baldor, 19, Nordahl, 17, Valtor, 14, and Meble, 12. They live next door to Ole and Sigre Ellestad (#1953 and #1956).

      She is Ronda Flaten on her death certificate. In that certificate, she is identified as a widow living at 2011 2-1/2 Street in Minneapolis. She married at 19 and had 10 children, 8 of whom were still alive at her death. No informant is named on her death certificate. She died of pulmonary tuberculosis which she had had for “8 or 10 years.” Her father was Thosten Sondrol and her mother was unknown. She was buried at “Layman’s.”
