Gesine Gabrielson(dtr) was born in 1862 in Vanse, Vest-Agder to Gabriel Evertsen and Janniken Berntsdr who married in 1859 in Lista. Gesine married Benjamin (Barent) Martin Pederson in MI after he had immigrated to the US from the same area. He was born in 1851. According to his death certificate, his father was Peter Jacobson. I believe they both came from the Brekne (Braekne) Farm.
