Surnames: Solberg Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gFC.2ACI/1580.1 Message Board Post: In 1900 Peter O. Solberg, age 50, salesman at general store, is listed in the census, living on Stout Street in Menomonie with wife Elena, age 45, and daughter Olga, age 19. She has had 2 children and 2 are living. Daughter Gena was quite likely married by then. It says Peter emigrated 1870. Elena emigrated 1874. In the 1910 census, widow Lena Solberg, age 55, is living with her daughter Olga and her husband John Nordenfoss in Barron Co. This could be your Peder O. Solberg emigration record: http://129.177.200.200/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMITROND&variabel=0&postnr=2025&fulle=true&spraak=e which says that Peder Ols. Solberg, age 18, emigrated from Soknedalen (Sor-Trondelag) May 12, 1868 via Qvebek. The Soknedal bygdebok doesn't enlighten us any further since it only says that this Peder Olsen Solberg, b. 1850 went to America in 1868. (III-434). Four of his siblings also emigrated - at least one to Menomonie (Ingeborg, b. 1835 who married Ole Johnsen Froset and emigrated in 1867). This Peder Olsen Solberg was the son of Guru Nilsdotter Solberg, Osphaugen, b. 1813, d. 1888 - 2nd marriage in 1849 to Ole Olsen Aasenhus, Borstu, b. 1819, d. 1894. Farmers in Oppstu at Solberg, Soknedalen. If this is the correct Peder O. Solberg, I have many generations of his ancestors in my database.
