Biography

Anna was born in 1871. Anna was the child of Johannes Eliasson and Maj Kajsa Jacobsdatter. Anna and Johan had five children: Thoralf, Christian, Erling, Signa, and Nora. Christian died as a young man. Anna passed away in 1959. Erling, Signa, and Nora lived together in a house in Moss, Norway that Erling built. Erling was a building contractor and Signa and Nora were shopkeepers. The three never married, but made Thoralf's family the center of their lives. Thoralf was an agriculturist, married Karin and took over his father's farm, the Kjenn Estate. They had a son, John Arne who married a cousin of mine from Svelvik, Liv Torill Amdahl; and a daughter, Torun. Either Liv or Torun was a nurse, I forget who. Kim and I visited both the house in Moss and the estate when we brought my cousin Erick Holmes back to celebrate Karin's birthday in 1987. 1910: lived at Kjend, farmers wife (Thora Johannesen, born in Sweden on the day given). Marie Munter (born 22 May 1840, Sverige) lived at Kjenn in 1910, føderaad, maybe the mother of Anna.

Sources

Thoralf Kjenn gave a copy of the genealogy of our families to me at the birthday of his wife Karen in 1987 at the Kjenn Estate in Norway. This is from his genealogical research, from my "Genealogical Research through March 30, 1990", and memories from our visits to the Kjenn Estate and the home in Moss.
