  • She was born in Tronse, Denmark (Bregninge parish).

    Her death certificate shows her name as "Alina Margaret Terkelson Rollins," and it confirms her birth and death dates.  The inscription on her gravestone shows her name as "Alena M. Terkelsen," and gives her birth date as 24 December 1837, so her birth year on her death certificate is incorrect.  The Denmark Baptisms record gives her birth date as 23 December 1837.

John E. Forsgren Company (1853)
