I've found it spelled several ways while searching. She was Anna Ellandson, born in 1870, Solin, Osterdalen, Norway. Her family came to America a little before 1880. Her parents were Christian Ellandson and Karen Sauler (father Hans Enden). They came to Madelia where they had relatives; could they have been some of your kinfolk?
