    Did you check the 1865 census?  There's an Anne Berntsdatter born in 1852 living in Ovrebo municipality, Vest-Agder county, not too far away.  It does not list her birth place but it lists her parents.  Check it out.

    Hei! My ancestors (3rd and 4th great-grandfathers - Ole Andersen Huset ("Doktor Ola") & Ole Olsen Huset) practiced folk medicine in Holla, Telemark, Norway in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Another ancestor - John Johnson Sandvig - was a rosemaler from Tinn, Telemark, Norway. I would love to contact relatives both in Norway and America!
