1. I’m Swedish but I’ll give it a try!
   Blue ink “vår Anna dog den 2 september 1895” – ”our Anna died the second of September 1895”
   I’m unsure about the bottom half.
   ”Vår Anna Kjerstine föddes den 25 November 1897 i ?…?” – our Anna Kjerstine was born the 25th November 1897 ?…?”

2. *vår Anna dog den 2 September 1895 madison minn*

   *vår Anna Kjerstine*

   *Fødes den 25 november*

   *1897 i madison minn*

   ​

   “madison minn” is probably the city: Madison in Minnesota

   ​

   So then it says:

   “Our Anna died the 2nd September 1895 in Madison Minnesota”

   “Our Anna Kjerstine was born the 25th November 1897 in Madison Minnesota”

   ​

   My comment:

   “Anna” is probably the grand-mother of “Anna Kjerstine”. “Anna” died in 1895, 2 years later, her grand-daughter “Anna Kjerstine” was born.

3. It is Norwegian. The Bible contains the letter ø, which is Norwegian. Swedes use ö.

4. Swedish handwriting in a Norwegian/Danish book. I mean, it’s not that hard to believe considering Scandinavian countries have been pretty linked for the last… forever.

5. It’s directions on how to get to Moomin Valley.
