personal research as of February 2014
Anders Jensen was born June 18, 1816 at the Aasen farm, Strand, Rogaland, 
Norway to Jens Jensen (b September 22, 1789 Strand, Rogaland, Norway, d January 
17, 1862 same) and Berthe Larsdatter (b October 5, 1793 Strand, Norway, d 
December 6, 1875 same), the second of their 4 children. 



Anders' siblings were: 

Jens Jensen (b July 20, 1814 Aasen, Norway, d February 25, 1906 Lake Mills, 
Winnebago, Iowa); 

Siri Jensdatter (b May 7, 1821 Strand, Norway, d 1889) and 

Astri Jensdatter (b October 5, 1825 Strand, Norway, d March 16, 1910 same). 



Anders married Anne Henriksdatter (b October 8, 1815 Strand, Norway, d March 
29, 1869 Floyd Co, Iowa) on April 25, 1838 at Strand, Norway. 



The couple had 7 children who were all born at Aasen, Strand, Rogaland, Norway: 
Martha (b September 27, 1838, married Ansten Sorensen, d March 26, 1915 
Minnesota); 



Henrick (b 1840, d 1908 Burt, Nebraska); 



Berta (b November 16, 1845, d November 4, 1885 Burt, Nebraska); 



Malene (b August 30, 1848, d November 26, 1870); 



Kristoffer A Jensen (b May 17, 1850, d March 19, 1940 Burt, Nebraska); 



Bergitte (b May 17, 1852, married George Peterson,d April 22, 1931 San Diego, 
California), 



Jensine (b April 27, 1855, d December 28, 1919 Cedarville, California). 



Believe the parents and all the children except Marta emigrated about 1865 to 
America and traveled to rural Floyd County, Iowa where Anders brother, Jens 
(Gens Genson) Jensen was already established on a farm on the Mitchell/Floyd 
county line. The family stayed in the area for a few years, at least until 1869 
as Anne died at rural Floyd, Iowa on March 29, 1869 and was buried at the Rock 
Creek Lutheran Cemetery at Meroa, Cedar, Mitchell, Iowa.



The family moved west to homestead on farmland at Burt County, Nebraska. 
Daughter Martha had married Ansteen Sorensen and believe Anders lived with them 
until his death February 22, 1876. Anders Jensen was buried at Tekamah, Burt, 
Nebraska at a family farm cemetery but his remains were moved to the Tekamah 
Cemetery (lot 35) on April 13, 1882. 





Additional Comments:
Was not able to locate Anders in the 1870 census or find the cemetery where he 
was buried at.
