Thank you Margit.
I'm sorry, I didn't wrote all the information I have about this family of Fredrik and Marthe Lovaas.
But some of theese dates, I don't have.
I see that Marthe Sophie's date and place of birth is wrong in the information you have found here, but still, all the other information is correct, so I'm sure it is the right family.
Marthe Sophie is born november 23 1878 in Sunnylven, Møre og Romsdal (quit a bit further north from Bergen). I found her in the church book there, so I know that her birth information that I have is correct.
She moved from Sunnylven, with her parents, to live in Hof, Solør, Hedemark in Norway and was raised by her grandparents there, while her parents moved to the southern part of Norway. I don't think she ever moved to live with her parents again.
Next time I found her was in Oslo (Christiania), married to Fredrik Løvås. 1900 census in Norway. They emmigrated in 1904.
They had a lot of children:
- Bertha Fredrikke (in the churchbook in Norway listed as Bergliot Fredrikke), born appr. 1899 in Christiania. I'm not sure if I found the right person, but I found a person named Bertha Lovaas, died in oct 1985 in North Dakota.
