    Notes 
    • One of the Annes, to be known as Anna, came to the U.S. in about 1887 and lived in the Christiania area although she apparently never married. This Anne, born in 1843, is sometimes shown incorrectly as the wife of Lars Soine.

      According to the Lomen parish record for emigrants, Anne Thomasdatter Ellestad, b. 24 Aug 1844 (baptized 13 Oct 1844), departed for Amerika on 9 September 1887 with Guro Johannesdatter Egge, b. 9 Jun 1856 (baptized 27 Jul 1856).

      She is shown as Annie Ellestad, 56 (born August 1843 in Norway), single and the “head” of a family (just herself) and living next door to her brother Peter Thompson in Eureka Township at the time of the 1900 census.

      This Anne was living with her parents and her brother Anders and his family on Høine in Vestre Slidre in the 1865 census. Anne was shown as having been born in 1844.

      She is probably the “aunt” living with her nephew Nels Arthur Thompson in Duluth in the 1920 census.

      In the 1930 census, she is a “lodger” at the Augustana Home for the Aged at 1415 Tenth Avenue South in Minneapolis.

      Died as Anna Ellestad at the Augustana Home for the Aged where she had been living for 12 years. The cause of her death was coronary thrombosis brought on by arterisoclerosis. She was unmarried and had been a “domestic” for 45 years. The Welander-Quist funeral home handled her funeral.
