Double first names (such as proposed Knud Halvor) in Hallingdal are pretty rare, not plain enough.  Here is Halvor Olsen's death #6 1902 male:

#1 Anne Olsdtr Robele Nov 1915:

It appears neither of the two children she and Halvor had were still living in 1915.  Which could point to Barbo since we know she has gone on in 1899.

There is a Betsy Knudson age 10 in this family in Manitowoc county, Wisc. in 1870:

Okay so the Halling is off the table.

 

This is probably the Knute Robley, name carried as Karobly from 1910 listed in the 1870 census of Manitowoc co rather than the Arne Knudson / Knud Knudson family listed above.  No Betsy:

Here is the Knud Robley family in 1880 census, still no Betsy:

"United States, Census, 1880", , FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MN41-98Y : Mon Mar 11 00:08:53 UTC 2024), Entry for K. K. Roble and Mary Roble, 1880.

This man, Even Knudsen Roble, is, according to this family tree, an older brother of Knute Robley from 1910 census.  Even has two daughters named Barbra, one born 1853 and the other born 1859.  The one b 1853 is not carried forward and the one born 1859 is listed as married to a Tollef Rime.

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KHB7-5BF

 

Probably this family in 1860 census, the elder Barbra is not with them but the one born in 1859 is:

However, neither of Even's daughters Barbara were born in Norway....

Synd, hun passet så godt...

Men det er minst like viktig å finne ut hvem det IKKE er.

Thinking Betsy must be findable in the 1880 census, here a long shot possible, a 19 year old Marion (first name a problem I know) Knutson living and working in Stephen Torgason's boarding house which is where Betsy married Simon:

"United States, Census, 1880", , FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MZ9S-4RH : Sun Jul 07 06:41:13 UTC 2024), Entry for Stephen Torgason and Julia Torgason, 1880.

 

One other Betsy Knutson in one of the local newspapers in Clay County, is a school age (lower department) person:

Clay County advocate. Pub. Date April 19, 1879 page 1 col 4

Barbro/Betsy was about 20 years old when they married.

Without knowing her correct name, she might be a challenge to find with certainty.

 

I appreciate your help with US sources!

 

Vigdis

[Jackie K Marler]

Yes the records we know for certain are two Minnesota census schedules, 1885 and 1895 where her birthdate calculates to 1860 or 1862.  And we know Betsy might be short for Barbro and that she had to be here in US on or by Sept 1880.  Her birthplace is Norway in each of these items, too.  I still think the Robley clue is going to be critical.

 

Unfortunately, I haven't figured out a way to get to the continuation of the article which might contain more biographical information.

Here is the death certificate of Anne Regine Olson.  The parents are named as Sam Evanson and Barber Robele.  So this is the 2nd of the siblings that have the Robley clue:

[Jackie K Marler]

 

This is a confirmation for a Barbro Herbrandsdtr Robelle.  Her patronym is not Knudsdtr or Knudson but her father's is.  This confirmation is from Wilmington (Minn.) Lutheran church registers in the ELCA (held under Trinity Lutheran). 

 

 Her baptismal record is #114:

Quick link: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20061115040423

 

Her father's birth family is found in Boka om Gol III, page 840-841 on a farm named Robølhaugen.  The story mentions that he left Norway with his family in 1868 and here is the link:  #28-33

Yes! Very promising find!

 

Many (most?) norwegian families in US changed from patronym to fixed surname so I guess she would have used Knudsen.

When her son Emil died, his mother's maiden name was said to have been "Halbrunson". https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V4W5-ZZF

Halbrunson and Herbrandsen are not so different.

 

You have been an awesome help! Thank you so much!

Hun er en veldig god kandidat til Betsy!

Jeg hadde nesten gitt opp at hun kunne bli funnet!

 

Du, Jackie og Anton har antagelig løst hele saken for meg!
