Notes:

As Berit Andersdatter Ellingbø, she is living with her parents and siblings in the 1910 Norwegian census.

She arrived in New York on April 3, 1915, aboard the S.S. Kristianiafjord which had departed Bergen on March 25th. Berit was single, age 20, occupation domestic. She gave her father Anders T. Ellingbö of Vang, Valders, as her nearest relative in the country she had come from. She was traveling with her cousin Marit (10705).

In the 1916 Minneapolis city directory, she is probably the Bertha Ellingboe, seamstress, boarding at 4341 Nokomis Avenue.

She may be the Bertha Elingbow, a helper/laundress at Sheltering Arms, in the 1917 and 1918 Minneapolis city directories. There are no other Bertha Ellingboe variants in those two city directories.

In the 1918 Alien Registration, she was Bertha Ellingbo, age 23, of Minneapolis.

In the 1919 city directory, she is probably the Bertha Ellingbo who is a machine operator for Brown Brothers Mercantile Co. She boarded at 3500 16th Avenue S.

She is the Bertha Ellingbo, “sister-in-law”, living with the Mary and Conrad Hanson family in Minneapolis in the 1920 census. (Also see 6236.) She is a tailoress and came to the U.S. in 1915.

She died as Bertha E. Hanson, wife of Henry A. The informant for her death certificate was Burton Hanson. Her parents were Anders Ellingboe and Ingeborg Qvale. This is a different father than the Ole Ellingboe who Burton Hanson said was his mother’s father. Bertha was a seamstress engaged in the tailoring business. She died from a stroke. Her usual residence was 3414 Minnehaha Avenue.

Jim’s site’s Valdres Slekt does not include Berit in the children of Anders and Ingeborg. Nor does the bygdebok.
