She immigrated to America in 1873. She had a sister, >Gunhild Marie (b. 1861) who also immigrated and married Ole Olsen Fossum, >from Soknedal. The Fossums both died at a relatively young age, leaving a >daughter, Magna, who may have lived with Peder & Eline Solberg for a >time. I have a note (source unknown) that both Peder & Eline are buried >at Menomonie. >Eline & Gunhild had a brother, Christian Olsen Overby (b. 1849) who >immigrated in 1870, and ran a general mercantile store at Rice Lake. He >married Juliane (Julia) Finstad and had at least eight children. Another >brother, Andreas (b. 1851) also immigrated in 1870 but I have no >information on him. >I'd certainly welcome any information on descendants of the Ãverby >family. If anyone is interested in the ancestry of the Ãverby siblings, >please e-mail me. >Henry Berg
