born approximately 1837 & 1833, respectively.

married approximately 1860 in Norway, I would guess.

immigrated to the USA in 1870's with their two children, Caroline and Ragnhild, born 1870 & 1871, respectively.

they had one girl, Olive, born 1891, in Chicago.

the information I have found is through US census online and 2 death certificates (for Jens and Karen).

I would love to get in touch with relatives, or anyone who might have more information on the origins of the family (I have no idea where in Norway they were from).

Thanks!
