Hi Forum,
Brejohns asks for our assistance with her 3 g grandmother Ingeborg Olsdatter. For some reason related to the current difficulties on the tech side of the site, she is unable to post the topic and I offered to assist. These are the details she has:

Ingeborg was residing in Voss Norway area at the time of her husband Anders Bergesen’s death on 11 Dec 1870. It appears she reported his death as noted in the last column.

According to the biography of Martha Johnson – from the North Preston Lutheran History Book (which is included in the ELCA database at Ancestry and in which story it is mentioned that Martha took care of her elderly mother) Ingeborg lived
with her daughter Martha Johnson (married to Helge Johannessen) in Lake Preston Kingsbury South Dakota
Her daughter Martha came to the USA when she was 18 and lived in Chicago IL area. Either 1863 or 1864. This may be her, but there is no date listed.

She married Helje Johannessen (Helge Johnson B. 4 Jan 1835) on 5 September 1868. Not sure of the location but assume it to be Illinois. Helje and Marta (Martha) were both immigrants from the Evanger Voss area. Most of Martha’s USA records show a birth year of 1845 in the federal censuses. Unable to locate a marriage record at this time.
In 1887 Martha and Helge moved to Dakota Territory (SD) in the North Preston community. They had 12 children: Bertha, Lena, Julia, Andrew, Henry, Gilbert, Martin, Albert, Jacob, Lewis, Bert and Leander. Bertha died at age 25 years; Lena died at 18 years; Julia died at 22 years; and Bert died at 7 years old. Martha’s husband died 12 March 1907 and is buried in SD. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/85275880/helge-johnson
This may have been Ingeborg coming to live with her daughter in 1871. There is not enough information to confirm that this is our Ingeborg. Lots of Norwegian immigrants came to the USA by way of Canada because it was cheaper to go this route. Once in Canada they would travel down to Chicago, IL and WI.

Martha and Helge appear in the 1900 and 1910 Census – but I can not find any census that show Ingeborg lived with them.

1910 Census

Final Resting Places
Thinking this is our Ingeborg but that she used her daughter’s last name or did someone just think her last name was Johnson? Her headstone only says Ingeborg. Both were buried at the same cemetery in Kingsbury County Lake Preston at Hinderlie Cemetery as well as her husband Helge Johnson and it listed Martha as her daughter.
