Fjeldhaug School, 1920

In 1920, my grandmother appeared on the census for Fjeldhaug School, now known as Fjellhaug International University College in Oslo.  In the building she lived in, there were 75 people enumerated and 23 residents.  The school focused on producing educators and missionaries.  I have transcribed those from that "residence" only.  While I do my best at transcribing and translating, mistakes are always a possibility, so keep that in mind.
