Texana - Norway to Texas - The Solberg Family
The Solberg family from Norway to Texas. Kathleen Solberg Sommer, et al. Clifton: Solberg Family, 1979. Hardcover. 9 x 6”. First edition, 98 pages, black and white photographs, bibliography, index.
Very good, tight and crisp. There is a small soiling spot on the first paste down page and the adjacent free end page. There is a very light embossed circular stamp on the last free end page, so light that I cannot read it. These are both of little consequence. The book is in great condition.
Ole Solberg (1843/4-1922) near Löten, Norway. When he immigrated to Bosque County about 1861. He married Kerste Grimland (1849-1931) in 1873. Ole and Kerste probably the first Solberg family to live permanently in Texas. This book is divided into chapters for each of the children of Ole and Kerste.
