  Notes	Neither Alison nor Dustin Marson have information on her parents. Buried as Randi Thompson. Her birth record in the Vang church book shows her parents as Ole Wilhelmson Veblen and Anne Endrisdatter. Her baptism sponsors were Marthe Evensdatter Weblen, Anne Andersdatter Törstad, Ingrid Somebody’s datter Qvale, Knud Somebody’s son Veblen, and Thron Törstad. Came to this country in 1884. Came to this country in 1887 according to the 1900 census. Her 1888 marriage to Thomas A Thompson was witnessed by E.O. Ellestad (the bride’s brother) and Miss Karoline Martinson of the village of Frederick in Brown County. In the 1900 census, she had had 8 children, 5 still living. In the 1910 census, she is shown as having had 10 children, 7 still living. Place of birth, date of birth, and mother’s maiden name were not included in her death certificate. Burial record or gravestone shows 1868 as the year of birth. The informant for her death certificate was Ingmur Thompson of Farmington. Randi’s residence was Webster. No parents’ names on her death certificate. Evey believed that Randi and Thomas were first cousins. Rose claimed that the pair were 2nd cousins and that Rangdi was “Andrew Ellestad’s sister.” This genealogy shows they were 5th cousins so there is a disagreement here. dwfrench1 agrees with the lineage shown here.
