Karen (Mortensen) Hoel born December, 1852 near Ringebu

[Clark Monson]

Hello,

 

I have been searching for a long time for a lady who was born near Lillehammer or Ringebu. In the 1900 USA census it says that she came to the USA in 1869 and was born in December, 1852. She was married in Iowa in 1873 and her name maiden name was Karen Mortenson. Her grandchildren said she had a brother who visited North Dakota and his name was Andrew Hoel. In her obituary in the newspaper in 1926, it states she was born near Lillehammer, Gudbrandsdal. After searching church records I have been unable to find a Karen Mortensdatter or a Karen Hoel. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you!
