RESEARCH NOTE: Research is needed to determine the accuracy of Kirsten Hansdatter parents. The Internet IGI lists Hans Nielsen and Anna Larsdatter having two children named Kirsten Hansdatter. One was christened 26 Apr 1795 and then died a year later, and the second was christened 24 Feb 1797 and died 5 Apr 1833. Neither of these dates match the dates associated with our Kirsten Hansdatter.
