*NOTE 1: The old-fashioned handwriting on the original 1865 marriage license of Anders Lassesson and Metta Lund (Minnesota Marriage Records; Book 2, page 47, on file at the courthouse in Red Wing, Goodhue County, Minnesota) is somewhat difficult to decipher; however, it appears that Metta's name is listed on this old document as "Metta Iversdatter." The date (September 11, 1865) and location of their marriage (Red Wing, Goodhue Co., MN), as documented on the original 1865 marriage license, accurately reflects information about their marriage in Metta's obituary; and, with personal family history.
