Maren Janette Larson b 1857-1863 imm to Wisconsin

Hi all you wonderful researchers, I'm trying to help someone trace the family history of her ancestor Maren Janette Larson. She was called "Nettie" and born about 1857- 1863 in Norway. Her father was Lars Olson Gilbeck. She immigrated as a youngster ca 1870-1878 and is first found in USA in Dunn County, Wisconsin. We've found the following USA records for Nettie that fit her family's oral history. I've added records of a Norwegian family that might be Nettie's family. I based this on a burial in Wisconsin of a Lars Olson Gjelbekk. The discussion of Nettie started on an Ancestry message board; I've transferred the findings here. Your advice, additional information, and illumination are much appreciated! ================================================== ABOUT NETTIE Nettie Larsen married Ole Andreas Olson, next married Oscar Olson. Montana Death Index Jenneattie Olson Death Date: 12 Jan 1930 Death Place: Roosevelt County, Montana, USA Age at time of death: 67 years old, 6 months, 7 days Spouse Oscar Olson, informant Father Lars Olson Gilbeck Death record puts her birth at about 05 July 1863? In the 1910 census Nettie is younger than in 1900, but family oral history says both records are correct. 1910 School District 17, Valley, Montana Oscar Olson 29 head born about 1881 in Minnesota Nettie Olson 40, wife, born about 1870 in Norway to USA 1870 Owen Olson 15, son, born about 1895 in North Dakota David B Smith 45 lodger 1900 US Census Township 151?, (Oberon), Benson County, North Dakota Ole A.

I'd appreciate your comment on that. 1880 US Census Portland, Monroe, Wisconsin Lars Olson 46 born about 1834 in Norway Maria Olson 41 born about 1839 in Norway Agerton Olson 19 Louis Olson 16 Jany Olson 15 [maybe = Jorgine Caroline] Christian Olson 9 born in Norway Lina Olson 6 born in Wisconsin Thilla Olson 2 Born in Wisconsin Find a Grave lists the following burials that I believe may be for the above couple: Lars Olson Gjelbekk 1833-1917 Marie Paulsdatter Roise Gjelbekk 1837-1882 burial Skogdalen Cemetery, Vernon County, Wisconsin The name Marie Bramerud is also on the grave marker of this couple, with no dates (a daughter? a second wife for Lars?) ================================================== LARS OLSON DAUGHTER "LINA" I include the following info for Lina because here the name "Gelbeck" pops up.

Thanks so much.
