Research Notes:
findagrave, 162643104 ... name as Ingeborg "Olava" Moen
1. 1921 Canada Census ... ...
- living with her son John (Johnsen Midtdal) and her grandson Melvin Midtdal's family - Melvin is listed as head of household
2. Birth, 6 Mar 1840 - Norway Parish Registers, Tolga Ministerialbok
- parents - Jakob Pedersen and Johanna Nilsdtr Langsjoen
-- 'Pedersen' - the name is difficult to make out since the first letter almost looks like 'j' and it appears to have 2 letters and then the 'd'
--- in the Tolga i Os Klokkerbok, page 160-161, line 7 (2nd side) father - Jacob Pedersen - the handwriting for Pedersen is easier to make out, but still it almost looks like 'Perdersen'
3. Death - 1924, Freeway West , page 950
- but cemetery list and photo records name as Ingborg Moen, 1840-1940 .. see PDF for Hegge Norwegian Lutheran from Millet Library
-- appears the name is a mistake by whoever provided the cemetery with the information. This should be Olava, and it is possible that some family member a number of years after 1924 mistakenly had written Ingborg possibly referring to Ingeborg Sophie Midtdal, nee Moen .... findagrave name as Ingeborg "Olava" Moen
Based on the information on page 950 from Freeway West, I will record Olava's death as 1924.
.... doubel family relationship ....
