Kirsti Halvorsdatter Norby ³⁶⁸²

   Other names for Kirsti were Kersti and Kirsten.

  Research Notes:

1. Birth - from Norway Parish records
- name is most likely recorded as Kirsti versus Kersti, since there is no loop in second letter and there is a mark (likely a dot) over the second/third letter
- Allen Dale Anderson (Ancestors...) records name as Kersti and then Kirsten, p 23 --- thus it would seem that the family used the spelling Kersti and then at some point, likely in early adulthood Kersti changed to her name to Kirsten
Emigration
