She is not listed in the Sakshaug emigration records. The 1900 census lists her year of immigration as 1885. The 1910 census lists her year of immigration as 1886. The 1920 census lists her year of immigration as “Un.” the 1930 census lists her year of immigration as 1884.

She gives her name as Annie Grande and claims to be going abroad for no more than six months to visit relatives.
