Greetings Helle,
It is good to hear from a Risberg in Norway.I am helping my sister, Joan Risberg, with her husband's family history.On the 1865 Norwegian census I find Knud Mortensen age 34 on the Risberget farm side 157.I note that he has a daughter, Oline, age 3 (born 1862).Could she be your great-great-grandmother?It looks like Knud's brother was Arnt Mortensen age 41 also on the 157 side of Risberget.It is Arnt's son, Bernt age 10 on the census, from whom my sister's husband descends.Bernt came to Wisconsin and settled on a farm in Trempealeau County.
Also-----on the 1900 Norwegian census, I find an Oleanna Risberget born 1833 living on a Risberget gard.She appears to have had 2 sons with her named Martinsen, so this Oleanna's husband must have been Martin.
Do you think either of these Oleanna/Olines were your great-grandmother?It would be nice if we could make a connection.
I look forward to hearing from you again.
Mary Ellen Peterson
