Lisbeth, This is Inga Halseth in the 1930 census. You can see the image on familysearch.org. It says she was widowed. Inga Halseth United States Census, 1930 Name Inga Halseth Event Type Census Event Date 1930 Event Place Chicago (Districts 1251-1500), Cook, Illinois, United States Gender Female Age 67 Marital Status Widowed Race White Race (Original) White Relationship to Head of Household Boarder Relationship to Head of Household (Original) Boarder Birth Year (Estimated) 1863 Birthplace Norway Immigration Year 1893 Father's Birthplace Norway Mother's Birthplace Norway Sheet Letter B Sheet Number 7 Household Jacob Olsen Head M 54 Norway Marie Olsen Wife F 39 Norway Ben Anderson Boarder M 47 Norway Inga Halseth Boarder F 67 Norway Citing this Record "United States Census, 1930," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XSPJ-CS7 : accessed 17 February 2017), Inga Halseth in household of Jacob Olsen, Chicago (Districts 1251-1500), Cook, Illinois, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) ED 1372, sheet 7B, line 85, family 138, NARA microfilm publication T626 (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 2002), roll 474; FHL microfilm 2,340,209 I didn't find any likely match for Anna or Hilma/Helena. Maybe they used a different surname in the US or maybe they married before the census. I also didn't find any likely match for Inga before this one in the 1930 census.
