Notes:

According to the church book, she was the illegitimate child of maiden Randi Olsd. Ellingbø 1841 and bachelor Iver Knudsen Ellingbø 1848.

She entered the USA through Ellis Island in 1898, sailing from Liverpool on 31 Aug 1898 on the ship S.S. Majestic and arriving on 8 Sep 1898. The manifest gives her name as Rangdi Ellingbó, age 28, from Vang, a U.S. citizen with a residence in Minneapolis. Accompanying her was Berith Kvåle, age 26, also from Vang. Berith is listed as from Sweden, which must be a mistake of the person who filled in the manifest. Randi must have been visiting Vang after having immigrated in 1889, according to U.S. Census. But, according to the census, she was not naturalized until 1902.

The Berit Kvåle who traveled with Randi across the Atlantic in 1898 was born 13 April 1872, the illegitimate daughter of maiden Berit Olsdatter Kvåle (born 1851) and bachelor lensman's son Lars Johnson Wangensteen (born 1843).
