BIRTH/CHRISTENING: FHL film 0278169, Naesodden, Akershus, Norwy. Page 44, #39. Parents Otter Hansen and Andrine Olsdatter. His name given as Andreas Hagbart. Sponsors were Tehe Comsinsdatter, Kjærnes, Karen Christiansdatter, ibid; Johannes Hansen from Christiania and Olaus Christiansen, Kjærnes. Gives his name as Andreas instead of Albert. This is also the name that was on the 1865 census for Sinsen along with the initial H. and Andreas was given on the emigration list from Oslo. On all information I have found in the U.S. he is listed as Albert. But I find his brother and sister under their names. Father changed to Otto from the Otter on his birth records and on his son's birth records. And Andrine became Andrea on later records.
