Notes:

From a posting on the Ancestry Toso board:

Marie Berger (Iversdatter), Anton's wife your Grandma Ella's mother was born in Jevnaker, Norway in 1873 unsure when her family came to America. Her parents were Iver Olsen and Berte Ellingsdatter, apparently Iver took the name Bergereie at some point and then shortened to Berger. Marie had one brother Edevart Iversen and one sister Olava Iversdatter. Came across one document that said Iver was a servant in a large house and so was Berte I think this is how they meet. Also found out that Karen Eriksdatter was Iver’s mother she lived with Iver and Berte when Marie was a very young girl in Norway. Any other question just e-mail. Will try to respond sooner it just that I've had a hectic winter and have had no time for geneology. Bye for now, Your distant cousin Linda

An Ancestry tree has her dying in North Dakota in the summer of 1909.
