In the 1865 census, my Great-Grandmother Hanne Elisabeth Hansdatter and her sister Marie Hansdatter appear with an asterick * following their names. I can find no key for this. In the 1875 census I cannot find my Great-Grandmother with the family, but the notation under Family Status states that sister Marie (b. 1863) is Forsorges af Faderen. Can someone help me? The father in both censuses is Hans Hansen, and the mother Inger Lovise. I just cannot figure out what that * means. They are in Flekkefjord in both censuses. I wonder if Inger is their mother or a step-mother? Thanks for your help. Happy Holidays! Carol
