Her birth record in the Elverum church book has the number 4 after her name which may mean that she was her parents’ fourth child. Olga’s birth record cites her (Olga’s) mother as Julie Christiansdatter.

She arrived in New York with her children on October 29, 1908, aboard the S.S. Adriatic which had sailed from Liverpool on October 21st. The family name was shown as Olsen on the ship’s manifest. She is shown as Julia Bertine, age 38, of Hamar. Her closest relative back in Norway is her father Ole Christiansen of Oksns Station, Osterdalen. She and her family are bound for Rothsay, Minnesota.

In the 1910 census, she is shown as having had 8 children, all still living.

Her maiden name is inconsistent in her children’s birth certificates. For Agnes, it is Christofferson. For Woodrow, it is Johnson. It is Christianson on Anna’s death certificate. It is Kristiansen in Anna’s confirmation record in the Hamar church book.

According to her death certificate, she was a widow living in Fargo, Cass County, North Dakota. She died of liver cancer.
