My grandmother Anna Lee
My great-grandma Maren Wold, my brick wall
Drammen, Norway where Maren was supposedly born
Maren's parents Jorgen and Anna Wold, photo from late 1800s
Maren was from Skoger not Drammen
Part of Skoger is in Vestfold county not the same county as Drammen (Buskerud)
Records from the churchbook for Skoger in Vestfold

The new tree for Anna Knutsdatter
OK's parents' tests came in ...
