28. | Anna (Annie) KJERSTEIN (11.Tosten3, 3.Kari2, 1.Ola1) was born on 26 Mar 1863 in Vestre Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 2 Dec 1941 in Granite Falls Twp, Chippewa County, Minnesota; was buried on 6 Dec 1941 in Wangs Lutheran Church Cemetery, Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota. Other Events and Attributes:
- MN Death Cert Checked: Y
- Minnesota Death Certificate: 1941-MN-002398
- Baptism: 25 May 1863, Vestre Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway
Notes:
She is I8325 in Jim’s Ellingboe tree revised on 24 Feb 2012. Jim shows no parents for her.
In his notes for her in that tree, Jim says: “She is probably the daughter of Knut Iverson Eltun and Gjertrud Thomasdotter Eltun. Knut moved to Bøkkadn (33/3) on N. Ellingbøe in 1868. Gjertrud's mother was Sigrid Ivarsdotter Kjerstein (1805-1879). Eltun is next to Kjerstein and there were many connections between the families. If she is this person, she would have been born 17 Apr 1863 and baptized 26 Apr 1863.”
She is not listed in Jim’s VS, either as Thrond’s wife or as Torstein Torsteinsen’s daughter.
Jim’s attribution of parentage to Knut and Gjertrud is not consistent with Anna’s 1884 marriage record to Thrond in which she is shown as Anna Thostensen Kjersten, age 20. It is also not consistent with the birth record for Anna and Thrond’s first child born in Maynard on 13 Jan 1886. In that Wang Lutheran Church record, the child’s mother is clearly shown to be “Anne T. Kjerstine.”
The parentage shown here is consistent with the birth record of the Anna born in Vestre Slidre (p.87, Vestre Slidre prestekontor 1856-1864). The farm name of that Anna’s father is something like Risiskeiet. That is consistent with Tosten Tostensen being on the Rusiskaaret farm in Vestre Slidre in the 1865 census. The bygdebok (Vang A, p. 239) shows that Tosten, son of Tosten Ivarsson Kjerstein, married Randi and left for Vestre Slidre in 1860.
Called Anna Thompson in MOMS when she married Trond in 1884. Called Anna Thostensen Kjerstein in the ELCA record (Our Savior’s in Sacred Heart) for that marriage.
Emigrated in 1867 according to the 1900 census. At that time she was 37 and a widow living with her family on a farm in Wang Township, Renville County. The household consisted of Anna, 37 (b. Mar 1863), Trond, 14 (b. Jun 1886 in Minnesota), Dina, 10 (b.. Jun 1889), Theodor, 8 (b. Oct 1891), Christine, 5 (b. Mar 1895), and Ida H., 2 (b. June 1897).
A 1913 land ownership map of Wang Twp, Renville County, shows that she owned an 80 acre parcel in or near the village or community of New Lisbon. Her parcel is contiguous and made up of the northeast quarter of the northwest quarter and the northwest quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 9.
In the 1920 census, as “Mrs. Tom,” she was keeping house for her single, 27 year-old son Theodore in Tioga Twp, Williams County, North Dakota. She was shown, probably erroneously, as 63 years old.
Living with Helen and Helen’s husband at the time of the 1930 census. In that census, she was indicated as having come to this country in 1866.
In the 1940 census, she lived in Stoneham Twp, Chippewa County, with her daughter and son-in-law, Helen and William Kramer, in the same house in which they all had lived five years earlier. Anna had a fifth-grade education.
She died from pernicious anemia.
