Looking for Marie Olsen born 22 Jan 1863 in Hallingdal in Hol Norway.
Her mother's name was Ingeborg. She was one of 7 or 8 children. A sister was named Ingeborg also. She came to American in 1890 or 91.
I have also seen the Myhre name attached to her, but I don't know if it indeed belongs to her family. She came to America it is believed with an Ole Swenby who shows up in church records here as the father of her 4 children. It is believed he had a second family here in America before her. Specifically wondering on the origin of the Myhre name, would like to see the ship log of when she actually came over and if indeed with Ole and if any of her family ever came to America.
This seems huge to ask and I will be grateful for any clues. Thanks!
