Five years later... in the Soren Sorensen family in the 1870 census in Chicago.
We ask what happened to Anne Caroline and notice a new baby Carrie.

1870 census
United States Census, 1870," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M676-PM7 : accessed 23 Feb 2013), Swen Sorenson household, Illinois, United States; citing p. 310, family 2152, NARA microfilm publication M593, FHL microfilm 545705.


Perhaps this interment list will shed some light:


If this Anne M Sorenson that passed away at 1 year 3 months in August 1869 belongs to Anne Margrethe then their second daughter, Anne Caroline, that migrated with them also must have passed away after arriving in America.  It is a fourth daughter, then, that shows up in the 1870 census as Carrie Sorensen born about January 1870.
Also notice, Anne H Sevinson died at age 47 years, 10 months in November 1879.  This matches the age of Anne Margrethe Nielsdatter Sorensen.  So is this person on the interment list the same?  It is in Familysearch as such.
Finally notice the death of Soren Sorenson August 1904, age 77.

Again notice the research that could be done to account for this family in the United States.
Søren Sørensen and Anne Margrethe Nielsdatter 
migration to Amerika 

Udflyttede 1865 migrating out of Solum, Telemark, Norway [1] 
The following is from the above website.  Søren Sørensen, his wife Anne Margrethe and their four children are found on the passenger list entering Quebec that can be looked up on this site.

Announcement from Morgenbladet April 9th, 1865

Passenger accommodation to America. The newly built ship Northcote, owned by Mr. P. M. Petersen and others in Porsgrunn, and is expected home in April, will after unloading probably depart Porsgrunn in the early days of May with passenger for Quebec, if a sufficient number of passengers enrolls. Fees and conditions are negotiated with the undersigned, where enrolling can be done, Skien March 1865, J. Eriksen
The bark Northcote was built in 1864 at P. M. Petersens shipyard in Porsgrunn. She was constructed from drawings by Decke of Bergen. Her burden was about 120 Norwegian Commercial lasts.  She was named after the London brooker-house "Northcote & Co." of London. The Northcote was launched in August 1864, and commenced her maiden voyage to Teignmouth in England. From there she sailed to Swansea where she arrived on December 18th. From Swansea she took freight for Ibiza, and on March 27th 1865 she passed Gibraltar on her way back to Porsgrunn to be refitted for emigrant freight.  She departed from Porsgrunn on May 30th, 1865, carrying 120 adults and some children, all in all 141 passengers.  They arrived at Quebec on July 29th. She departed from Quebec with a load of wood on August 11th for Weymouth in England where she arrived 1 month and a 1 day after departure from Quebec.  From there she sailed for Portsmouth and on to Narva in the Baltic Sea to load timber.  On December 2nd 1865 sailed for Bristol and then on to Bridgewater and Cardiff.  On January 26, 1866 she departed Cardiff for Lisboa, and just off Lisboa (North Catchop) she sank on 15 fathoms depth.  The captain and crew were rescued.  She was mastered by Capt. H> Petersen.  The passenger list is archived by the National Archives of Canada (NAC).

1865 was the first year Quebec kept migration records.  This was the year Karen's sister Anne Margrethe immigrated to the United States with her family.
