- Erick Berg - born June 1863, but married and lived in Wis ?????? sources -US Census ???

- Ray family tree does identify parents and looks like some relationship through Marit and Peter Iversen Kvilvang AND has Kari Olsdatter Berg dieing in 1943, citing MN Death Index but actual index doesn't record a mother's maiden name; BUT 'Ray" also indicates that Jon Olsen Berg (born 2 Jan 1853 with year recorded with Bygebok and day and month Norway parish registers) being born on 4 Jan 1854 in Hegra, Stjordalen, Meraker, Norway [ east of Trondheim, close to the Swedish border] lived in 1910 in Becker Co, MN, but died in 1896 in Minnehaha Co, ????
------------ so 'Ray' makes mistakes and all data is suspect or needs to be challenged; however, there is a photo of Marit Olsdtr Berg - Kvilvang (married to Peder Iversen kvilvang)



"michael ..." seems to have copied from Ray or the other way around, but this tree shows the emigration manifest for Ole J Berg and Elia, but ignores, Erik on the next line; "michael also lists Kari Olsdatter Berg as dieing in 1943 in Rice,MN, ¹⁰⁷²
