- name is recorded as Olava Olsdatter Øversödal (same as Thore Simenson Øvorsjödal), father Ole Olsen, mother as Kirsti Nilsdatter Øversödal; difficult to make out the witnessess, but Peder Olsen Øversödal, Anna Pedersdatter Øversödal, then ... ???

2. 1911 Canada Census
- living with Cornelius
+++ 1906 - can't find her listed with Cornelius (can't find him) or with Thore, her son ??? where is she - perhaps she was in the US with her sister, Ingeborg Narjord (Olsen) - Marit had died in 1904 - despite being around 83 years old
+++ 1916 - not indexed on ancestry.com; not found on scan of Victoria, AB, sub-17 [ 31 Aug 2010] and not with Thore or Cornelius
---- however, in Each Step Left Its Mark, p 519, Olava is included in the photo of the Corneluis Grue family. I have dated this photo to about 1914, based on the approximate age of the children, so she may have been visiting someplace else for a few days and wasn't enumerated.
