Zakarine Olsdatter
(21 May 1817 - 4 Mar 1895)
Finding information on Zakarine has proved difficult but the following is believed to be accurate. From Family History Library microfilm #0,125,103, Hemnes, Book 7, p91, Zakarine, was the Illegitimate daughter of Ole Stephan from Dalosen and mother Kirstina Maria Handsdr. Her name was spelled Zacharina and she was, born 21 May 1817. Witnesses to her christening were Kirstina Kristopherdtr from Dikelstad, Margaritha Hansdatter from Dalosen, Johanna Johnsdtr from Dalosen, Ole Jensen from Dalosen, Jakob Jensen from Dalolsen, Elias Hanson from Dalosen. It is likely she was deceased when Olaf and Jens emigrated in 1898--Nels Sr. doesn't tell them to visit her before they leave. This may be her death record: Death an Burial Records, 1895, for Nordland County, Herøy in Herøy, Parish Register (copy), page 168.
