Notes:

!SO: A-010. Also A-011.
A-020-L lists name as Kari Korsgaard.
A-020-M lists name as Kari Knutdsdatter Crosgarn. b. 1819. d. 1864.
A-025 lists name as Kari Korsgarden Knutsdotter. It gives b. place as
Opdal, Norway.
A-031 lists name as Kari Backkeset, Marr in Opdal, buried at Mummedale,
Norway.
BIRTH: Year from A-019. A-020-f gives year as 1819.
DEATH: A-003 -- died in one of the cabins at the farm, Korsgaard.
A-019 -- source for year of death.
A-020-O says she died in Norway when her Daughter Ragnil was 13 years
old. Ragnil was born in 1852 making Kari's d. date about 1865.
A-020-f lists 3 possibilities for d. date: 1860, 1865, 1864 ( the latter
date has anotation indicating it was thought to be correct)
A-020-g states that Kari died some years after the last child was born
and then Gunul and his family emigrated to the U.S.
A-025 indicates that she died at Opdal, Norway and is buried at
Geilo-Kongsberg Rd, near Rodberg, Norway.
A-033 lists death at Krosgarn in 1859, burial at Uvdal Stave Kirke
Cemetery. In 1984 Nordahl and Beth Skashaug searched for the grave
markers of Kari and two of her children (Ole and Bergit) at both
the old Stave Kirke (where the family was associated and Kari and
the children are believed to be buried) and newer Uvdal Stave Kirke
but were unsiccessful. Both the Korsgarden and Bekkeset farms are
near Rodberg. Fonnebo, the farmstead where Gunulf Svendson
(Kari's husband?) (or her husband's grandfather?) was born is just
across the highway from Korsgarden.
Nordahl lists several references for the sources of
this information in his letter that I have labeled A-033.

NOTES: A-031 indicates she was a housekeeper.
