Notes

  • Information sent by relative: "Alice's surname is listed wrong on most documents. According to very informative Norwegian researcher, Alice and Thor were not married when Anna was born, and he had a previous unknown child out of wedlock. Thor's middle name is Syursen. His father is Syur."

Comment: Alice was baptised Ales The previos daughter was born in 1867 (like Anna) and called Lisabet Thor's father was Sjur Norwegians did not have middle names. Many had two first names. Rural Norwegiands did not even have a surname. They were DESCRIBED by their patronym, and in WikiTree this patronym is their LNAB, So Gunder's LNAB was Thorson and his father's was Sjurson. (-son rather than -sen in rural Western Norway)
