So that is a link to 1572... Øyer is not a very big community.<br /><br />In 1885, a girl called <a href="http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/gen/vis/9/og00000000457275" rel="nofollow">Rønnaug Ensby</a> emigrated from Norway, destined for Crookston. The way Rønnaug is pronounced in Norwegian sounds a bit like Rena, so perhaps she simplified her name. It says there that she was 20 when she emigrated, but she might have been 30, as the only Rønnaug (Rønoug) I could find at Ensby in 1854 (<a href="http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/ft/person/pf01052093000003" rel="nofollow">1875 census</a>).<br /><br />(If this is the one, it makes her too old to be the daughter of Emma Hanson Ensby, but she could be related otherwise, of course. I could not find Louis or Emma Ensby in the Norwegian archives.)<br /><br />Someone is asking for traces of Rønnaug in America <a href="http://www.disnorge.no/slektsforum/viewtopic.php?t=84908" rel="nofollow">here</a>.LarsIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023776776309604818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-9843702542422868452014-05-16T06:53:55.159-05:002014-05-16T06:53:55.159-05:00I suspect, but cannot prove, that Ren[n]a was the ...I suspect, but cannot prove, that Ren[n]a was the (oldest) daughter of Louis and Emma nee Hanson Ensby: Find A Grave Memorial# 51540058. Rena shows up in the 1890 city directory for Spokane, Washington working as a domestic. Perhaps Emma was related to the Hanson in Photo Number 1572.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.com
