Jane's mother was Anne Gudmundsdtr. We know that Anne was born on 5 Aug 1821, the daughter of Gudmund Hansen and Anne Arnesdtr and that Anne and Brede were not married. Brede would marry Karen Huseby on 6 Apr 1848, only a few short months after Jane was born.
The SANDER family tradition was that Jane left her mother to go with Brede, Karen, and her half-brothers Brede Jr. and Anton, in order to have a chance at a better life in America.
