  • Mette traveled with her mother and siblings. Her father and brother died prior to the company's departure, as indicated by the Christian J. Larsen journal and Hansena's obituary. The family is placed in the Hans Peter Olsen company simply because they were part of a large Danish group that crossed the Atlantic Ocean together and that group of Danes largely traveled across the plains together in this company. Additional documentation is needed to solidify their position with this company.
