Melchior (1878) og Christopher (1883) Christenssøner Øvrebø (Overby) - brør frå Luster med ukjende/usikre lagnadar i Amerika - kan dei finnast/stadfestast?

[Lars E. Øyane]

Christen Johannesson Øvrebø (1848-1928), gardbrukar på Øvrebø i Luster, hadde fire søner som utvandra til Amerika:

 

* Lars Christenson Øvrebø alias Louis Overby (1880-1957), utvandra i 1901 og vart farmar i Adams Co., ND - fekk fem born

 

* Peder Christenson Øvrebø alias Peter Overby (1887-1968), utvandra i 1908 og vart farmar i Traill Co., ND - fekk åtte born

 

Då eg jobba med desse huslydane på 1980-talet var eg i kontakt med fleire av desse barneborni av Christen Øvrebø, og her er kva eg den gongen fekk vita om dei to andre sønene (farbrørne) som utvandra til Amerika:

 

* Melchior Christenson Øvrebø, fødd i Luster 28.6.1878, utvandra i 1899, men skal ha vorte sjuk og døydde kort etter ankomsten, truleg på Austkysten av Amerika.

 

* Christopher Christenson Øvrebø, fødd i Luster 2.9.1883, utvandra i 1904 og skal ha vore farmarbeidar og fabrikkarbeidar ulike stadar i Minnesota, mellom anna i Morris, Stevens Co., MN og i Minneapolis, Hennepin Co., MN der han skal vera avliden kring 1959 - visstnok ugift(?).

 

Eg tippar på at både Melchior og Christopher vil stå fram i Amerika med namnet Overby, men eg har so langt ikkje greidd å finna spor etter dei «over there»!  Kanskje nokon har betre auge enn eg?

 

Eg takkar so mykje på førehand for alle gode tips!

Men en intresant historie om ham som stod omtalt i aviser i mange stater: kanskje nevøens navn Oliver Nygaard kan hjelpe med identifiseringen?
