In 1865 Barbro is not listed with her parents on the Lillenget farm but there is a Barbro Olsdatter, servant, age 15, living on the Skedsvold nordre farm. This is likely our Barbro. After confirmation, usually at age 14, children were expected to work for their living and later she went to Oslo to work.
