Marriage Notes:
The wife has been referred to as Karen, Martha, Marthea, Karen M ... Olesdatter, Olsen, and Halvorsdatter ... and while this seems like these are the right people, Ole Thompson said his maternal grandparents stayed in Norway which would not be true ... and they lived in the same county.
