Records & Research
Embjor Iversdater confirmed via FindAGrave memorial 276348338 (verified by direct fetch). The memorial is an unambiguous multi-anchor match to the known facts: birth 1 Jul 1828 Hundorp Sor-Fron, death 29 Jun 1905 Minneapolis, burial Hillside Sec H Lot 438 (report H438), birth name Embjor Iversdatter, spouse Paul Olsen (Snekkerplassen) 1822-1885 m.1850, mother Ragnhild Knutsdatter 1801-1875, and children including Iver Paulson 1853-1931. No wrong-person risk. Three open discrepancies remain (sons Ole and John not linked on memorial; father year 1801 report vs 1802 memorial; burial-card age 81 vs ~76) but none undermine the identity.

FindAGrave 276348338 (verified live) identifies Ingeborg Paulson b. 1 July 1828 Hundorp Sor-Fron Norway, d. 29 June 1905 (aged 76) Minneapolis, birth name Embjor Iversdatter; buried Hillside Cemetery Section H, Lot 438, Space 10C (report H438). Layman's cemetery burial card shows first interred 2 July 1905, removed to Hillside 3 Oct 1918, place of death 121 Cecil St, age 81; 1905 Minneapolis City Directory lists her as widow of Paul at 121 Cecil. Matches report on birth date AND place AND death date AND burial AND birth name (five independent anchors). The card's age 81 conflicts with computed age ~76 (b.1828 d.1905) - a clerical error, not an identity problem.

Memorial (verified live) lists spouse Paul Olsen Snekkerplassen 1822-1885 (m. 1850) - matches report husband Paul Olsen (1822-1885) m.1850-10-16; Snekkerplassen = report farm Snidkerplatsen. Parents Iver Olsen Vangen 1802-1891 and Ragnhild Knutsdatter Hegge Vangen 1801-1875 - mother is an exact match (1801-1875); father year is 1802 on memorial vs 1801 in report (1-year discrepancy, noted below). Confirmed on two independent anchors: spouse (name+dates+marriage year) AND mother (name+exact dates).

Memorial children (verified live): Mary Paulson Troen 1850-1892, Iver Paulson 1853-1931, Ronnaug Paulsdatter Snekkerplassen 1858-1859, Rena Paulson Hanson 1860-1937, Berthe 'Betsy' Paulson Kleman 1865-1954, Oline 'Lena' Paulson Hagman 1869-1938. These map to report children Mari 1850, Iver 1853-1931, the two report Ronnoug entries (1858 infant who died 1859 + Ronnoug 1860 = Rena 1860), Berte 1865, Oline 1869. Memorial siblings carry farm name Haverstad (Ole, Anne, Kari, Mari Iversdatter Haverstad), matching report otherName Haverstad. Report sons Ole Paulsen (1855) and John Paulsen (1863) are NOT linked on the memorial - memorial child list appears incomplete; pursue in parish/census (see open questions). Identity confirmed by matching child set (Iver 1853-1931 exact) plus sibling farm-name corroboration.
Not yet confirmed — probable matches and family lore, shown for research. Treat with caution.
likely father.birth: report “Iver Olsen (1801)” vs. found “Iver Olsen Vangen 1802-1891”. 1-year discrepancy (1801 vs 1802) on father's birth; minor, does not affect identity. Verify in Sor-Fron parish records.
likely children: report “Ole Paulsen (1855) and John Paulsen (1863)” vs. found “not linked on memorial”. Report sons Ole (1855) and John (1863) are absent from the memorial's child list, which appears incomplete. Confirm via Sor-Fron baptism/census on Digitalarkivet.
likely death.age: report “born 1828, died 1905 (age ~76)” vs. found “Layman's burial card age 81; FindAGrave computes aged 76”. Burial-card age 81 conflicts with computed age ~76. Clerical error on the card; FindAGrave's own 'aged 76' agrees with the report.
Open questions (5)
- Discrepancy: report sons Ole Paulsen (1855) and John Paulsen (1863) are not linked on the memorial (child list appears incomplete) - confirm via Sor-Fron census/baptism on Digitalarkivet.
