• Notes: daughter "Anna Maria," 1840. In the Rennesøy bygdebok (and elsewhere on the internet), there is mention of a daughter, Anna Maria Knudsdatter, who is born 15 Mar 1840. At this time, we believe this is in error and should be daughter Berta Maria Knudsdatter born in 1841. In May of 1840, we see the as yet unmarried Berta Torjersdatter leaving Sand, Jelsa, Rogaland, Norway for Skudenes. There is no child traveling with her and there is not Anna in future migrations of this family. [RDG 2014]

Knud married Berthe Torgersdatter HOUGAN, daughter of Torger Knutsen HOUGAN and Aasne Jonsdatter, about 1840 in Norway. (Berthe Torgersdatter HOUGAN was born on 29 Oct 1811 in Tinn, Telemark, Norway ⁹, baptized on 24 Nov 1811 in Tinn, Telemark, Norway and died about 1869 in America.)

  Noted events in their marriage were:

• Notes: daughter "Anna Maria," 1840. In the Rennesøy bygdebok (and elsewhere on the internet), there is mention of a daughter, Anna Maria Knudsdatter, who is born 15 Mar 1840. At this time, we believe this is in error and should be daughter Berta Maria Knudsdatter born in 1841. In May of 1840, we see the as yet unmarried Berta Torjersdatter leaving Sand, Jelsa, Rogaland, Norway for Skudenes. There is no child traveling with her and there is not Anna in future migrations of this family. If Anna did exist, she was deceased by 1847. [RDG 2014]

  Marriage Notes:

Knud and Berthe were likely married in Skudenes, but the church records were burned in 1841 so we don't have exact information.

Knud next married Anne Hansdatter FØRLAND, daughter of Hans Larsson SÆTRE and Lispeth Knudsdatter FØRLAND. (Anne Hansdatter FØRLAND was born on 1 Jun 1820 in Skjold, Rogaland, Norway ¹⁰, baptized on 3 Jul 1820 in Tysvær, Skjold, Rogaland, Norway and died on 23 Nov 1902 in America.)

  Marriage Notes:

It's possible that Knud and Anne married later in life, but they were not married when Anne Karine was born.

Knud had a relationship with Margrethe Jonsdatter HELLAND. (Margrethe Jonsdatter HELLAND was born before 1837 in Tørdal, Drangedal, Telemark, Norway.)
