I suppose these are some members of the family leaving from Kristiansand Lenke

[Gjest Kjell Varnson]

Oops, I forgot some important info!My GG Mother:Constance Emilie Bjornsen, b. 23 Oct 1886 Tvedestrand, Aust Agder, Norway

Maybe this is the head of the family leaving in 1895 LenkeAs you can see, his residence is given as Minnesota, which means he must have left once before.

I don't know whether this could be the same man Lenke but he is not married...

Astrid and Arne, thank you! This is all great and new information!Is there any chance of finding the ancestry of Gunder Bjornsen & Nalvana Jensdatter in earlier census documents?

[Gjest Kjell Varnson]

Could this be Nalvana Jensdatter in 1865 and if so, cam someone explain the codes for the two people above her?Lenke
