The following (2ND ENTRY) is an ANNA AMALIE, born 14 October / baptized 25 November, to ANDERS GUNDERSEN and GUNVOR ANSTENSDATTER. (DATES do not match your birth of 22 June...) Vest-Agder county, Øvrebø, Parish register (official) nr. A 8 (1874-1883), Birth and baptism records 1877, page 38. http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=6184&idx_id=6184&uid=ny&idx_side=-39 http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070109610214.jpg Using variations on the name and place information given, this is the only girl I can find coming close. Like others, I find NO connection to the MONSEN name. Have a nice day! Clark in Japan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
