Karin Svensdotter was born 30 November 1841 at a place called Vattlång in Harmånger parish, Gävleborgs Län, (Hälsingland) Sweden. She was the third daughter of Sven Hansson and his wife Marget Andersdotter. Her father died when she was 7 years old. On the 8 August 1868 she was married in the church at Harmånger to Hans Engberg. Hans was a shoemaker at Vattlång. They were blessed with five children born at Vattlång: Margreta Karolina (1868-1883), Brita Stina "Betsy" (1871-1963), Andreas "Andrew" (1874-1931), Sven Olof "Swan" (1877-1962), Gustaf (1883-1937). Also born were twins who died in infancy. Their daughter Betsy left for America in 1885 and on May 29, 1886, Hans, Karin and their sons were granted their moving permit to leave Sweden. They left Göteborg on June 11 and went to Liverpool where they sailed to Boston, arriving on June 26. From here they went to Minnesota settling in Harrison Township, Kandiyohi County. Tragedy struck when Hans died just a few months later on January 14, 1887 leaving the new immigrant Karin to support the family. Her children began to "leave the nest" and Andrew to the west coast, Swan and Betsy had located on homesteads in Roseland Township and eventually Gustaf took flight to North Dakota. Karin followed them in 1908 and would make her home in Roseland Township with her son Gustaf and his wife. She filed on a relinquished homestead in section 35 of Roseland Township and received the land patent on 4 February 1914. Later Karin made her home with her daughter Betsy (John Christianson) in Roseland Township on their homestead. Karin died in Roseland Township, Burke County, ND at the home of her daughter, Betsy on January 9, 1929 Funeral services were held in the Elmdale Swedish Lutheran Church in Niobe and interment was in the Elmdale Swedish Lutheran Cemetery.

Betsy Christianson by John MogrenBrita Stina Hansdotter Engberg was born May 6, 1871 in Vattlång, Harmånger, Gävleborgs Län, Sweden. This in the region called Hälsingland. She was raised in this area and on June 30, 1885 received her moving permit to leave the parish. She left Göteborg on July 10, 1885 on the ship Orlando and went to Hull, England. From Hull she went to Liverpool. Betsy sailed from there on the Etruria arriving in New York Harbor on July 27, 1885. At the age of 14, she traveled by herself crossing the Atlantic Ocean to go Harrison Township, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota to care for an ailing paternal aunt, Mrs. Peter (Anna Brita) Skoglund. A year later, her parents and three younger brothers emigrated from Sweden to Minnesota. While living in Kandiyohi County, she met her future husband John Christianson. They were married in the Lutheran parsonage at Kandiyohi on March 12, 1892. They set up housekeeping in Big Stone Township, Big Stone County. In March 1903, they followed the migration of people to North Dakota to homestead. John filed a homestead in section 25 of Roseland Township, Burke County. He received the patent to the land on May 12, 1905. On July 5, 1908 they transferred their church membership to the Elmdale Swedish Lutheran Church in the new town of Niobe, ND. Here they remained faithful members the rest of their lives. John and Betsy were the parents of eight children, Olivia, Arthur (died young), Edward, Baby Girl (died at birth), Arvid, Linnea, Leonard and Alfred. A highlight of her life was their 50th Wedding anniversary. Two years later, Betsy lost her beloved John on June 29, 1954. She continued to live on their homestead with her sons, Arvid, Leonard and Alfred. She remained active and enjoyed good health until immediately preceding her death at the Kenmare Hospital on March 25, 1963 at the age of 91 years. Her funeral was held in the Elmdale Lutheran Church on March 29, 1963 and burial was in the Elmdale Swedish Lutheran Cemetery. Källa J.B. Mogren i Find A Grave
