1. Ancestry.com Public Member Tree 'Petersen Family Tree owner mom2blakeshelby' from Oklahoma with last login Feb 2014

2. Birth - 27 Dec 1831; Norway Parish Registers; Støren, page 57
- parents - Henrik Andersen Oune (Aune) and Gjertrud .... ????


Conflict - Ancestry public member tree records birth as 24 Dec 1831; although the parish register is faint and difficult to make out, birth is 27 Dec 1831; therefore, on my Legacy data base, I have concluded birth as 27 Dec 1831 since the parish register record is close to the time of the event and the information provided would have been from the parents
