Notes:

In the 1865 census, shown as Anna Eriksdatter, born in 1864 in Qværnæs.

Mabel says that Anna was lost in Liverpool, England. Perhaps kidnapped into “white slavery.” Other sources say "lost in Seattle."

She is not listed in the emigration records for Kristiansund, most notably not with her sister, brother’s wife, step-brother, mother, and father when those five Gustads emigrated in August of 1894. She is not mentioned in Ever’s 1890 letter either. Clearly her mother considered her dead in 1900. Ane is shown as having had 7 children, 5 still living, in the 1900 and 1910 censuses.

An erroneous entry for her in Geni calls her Anne Johanna Eriksdatter Mek, born in 1864 and dying in childbirth in 1887. That Anne is shown in the 1875 census as the step-daughter (pleiedatter) of Johannes Halvorsen Meek. She had been born in Kornstad.
