FS has an indexed source in "Norway Baptisms, 1634-1927" for Christian Arnesen, MXGQ-D2Q, baptised 11 Oct 1868 in Faaberg, Oppland, Norway. Father is indexed as Arne Olsen and mother as Anna Ostensdr. When I look at that same record in digitalarkivet.no, the mother is indexed as Anna Olsdatter: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000028557157. The scanned image is also available from this link, but I am having trouble reading the handwriting. What do you think the mother's name is, Ostensdr or Olsdatter?

    I read the mother's name as Anna Østensdatter.

    The 1865 census captures the likely family -
