Comments:

1.  Isaac L.P. DIETRICKSON was a well known Norwegian clergyman of the Trinity (Evangelical) Lutheran Church of Oakland, CA.

2.  Meta MATHIESEN is Andreas's sister.

3.  Marie Sørensen is probably kin of Christine (SØRENSEN) MATHIESEN, though she is definitely not Christine's mother, who was Mommine Jessine (HAGENSEN) SØRENSEN.
