About the Project
The Olson Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Olson name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Olson name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Olson's), by time period (18th Century Olson's), or by topic (Olson DNA, Olson Occupations, Olson Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

I found one unsourced reference to her mother as Britta Maria. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Approx. birth date & location could be around 1820-25 Alsborgs, Sweden
You can only have three tags on a space page, so I separated out Olson & Olsen but left Oleson, Olesen together. You might want to pick one or the other for that tag.
Cheers, Liz
