Hi Sharon, 
I think that when Ole died and his wife also, that the remaining children may have been off that much in his age. It's a question mark, but so far all we have. And the birth place is from a professional researcher in Danish Records that we hired in the 1970's and she went through the parish registers and identified that information. She could have been born in Feb. and then christened even months later....so there could be that discrepancy. 
I would definitely go after her Naturalization Papers in Elko County Court House if they lived in Nevada then....I can't locate them in the 1900 Census which is a big disappointment because that census gives birth month and year and is very, very helpful. One son, Louis is 24 in 1910 Census which would put his birthdate at about 1886 in NV; So they were probably in Nevada at least by that time. The Naturalization papers and application for naturalization will probably fill in many missing questions. In the census she also said she immigrated to this county in 1854 which is the information that we had also. Is Katherine the child that was taken in Denmark and was later found by her sisters???? Do you have any history on her, stories, etc. Is there an obituary on her? Lots of questions. Answer as best you can..........And when you get information just send it to me....I'm very curious what the naturalization papers may show us. 
Your husband and my husband would be related on the Ole Olsen and Karen Hansen line on back..........That's fairly close..........I'll have to figure it all out. 
Talk to you later,

Hello,

      I think you misunderstood my email.  My husband relates not to  
Maria Kathrine Olsen but to Kathrine Olsen, the younger sister.  There was no information except her name in your information at Roots Web which is where I got your name and email address. I am pretty convinced that she is the right person.  Everything you had and I had seemed to go together.

      A couple things bother me though.  One in the Missouri Archives it says that Ole was 39 he was more like 42.  And I had Katherine's birthplace as Kobenhavn, Kobenhavn, Denmark.  Both of those could be simple errors I guess.  What do you think?

      Katherine was born 6 FEB 1846 in Denmark.  She married Jennings A.WIlkerson in 1863.  They lived on a ranch in Tuscarora, Nevada after moving from Utah.  She died in April of 1943 in Midas, Nevada..  Jennings had died in 1908 in Tuscarora.  They had 9 children: William Alexander born and died in Utah 2 OCT 1864; Thomas born and died 15 SEP 1865 in Utah; Van Ole born 19 Dec 1866 in Payson, Utah and died 18 FEB 1931; Mary A. born 15 NOV 1869 in Cottonwood, Utah married James F. McAvin and died on 15 APR 1937; Margery M. Wilkerson born 2 SEP 1872 in Utah and died 22 MAY 1953;  Geneva C. Wilkerson born 30 JUN 1876 in Utah and died 17 JUL 1880; John S. born 2 MAY1879 in Tuscarora, Nevada and died 7 JAN 1881; Edgar born 2 DEC 1881 in Tuscarora and died 15 MAR 1949--he was married to Pearl Sheeersbrug; and my husband's grandfather, Louis Byron who was born 12 JUN 1885 in Tuscarora and died 12 MAR 1956 in Winnemucca, Nevada (which is where we live)--he was married to Mary Ellen Coleman.  They had 9 children.

      If you would like more information please let me know.  I have a 
lot on the Wilkerson family. I really appreciate everything that you sent me.
