When she was 29, Birget married Ola Olson Nordreli Ro, son of Ola Olson Hoftun and Gunhild Olsdatter Noreim, on 24 Jun 1790 in Gol, Buskerud, Norway.

Ole Olson was a widower when he married Birgit. He brought a daughter named Gunhild to the marriage.

Birgit was counted in the census in 1801 on the Roe farm at Gol, Buskerud, Norway, along with her husband and children.

Birgit died about 1822. Despite hours of searching her death record hasn’t been found by this researcher, but that is the date other family historians use and it is probably close to accurate. She would have been 62-years old at the time.

Where is she in the tree?
