Løberg says his wife POSSIBLY was Kristina Knutsdotter
Note: some online trees name his wife Kristina. It is extremely unlikely that this is Christina Birgersdotter, who was attached as the wife of this profile, as she was raising a different family in Sweden at the time. Østenstad-1 18:01, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
