Notes:

Ola Persson took the name “Ole Peter Ornberg” soon after or during his emigration from Sweden in 1870. He used the surname Ornberg for the remainder of his life.

Ola Persson’s (Ole Peter Ornberg’s) gravestone does not actually list his birthdate which is inferred from an inscription that reads, “Aged: 61 ys’ 4 mo’s 5dy’s”, but that date, 3 December 1821, appears to be a year off.

Even though there is a record of a “Hannah Ornberg” who died in 1894 and who was probably Ole’s wife, the Birth and Death Register of Meeker County lists Ole as being widowed at the time of his death as does [US-1880-2f].

The ‘Household Examination’ from source [GID-1857a] appears to have been taken in 1857 with the entry for Hans Olson being added to the record in 1860.

Ola Persson is recorded as having departed Tunby, Smedstorp Parish on 2 May 1870 on his way to the United States, accompanied by his six living children. However, it appears that either the dates in this record or in source [LaAC-1870a3] are incorrect, as they do not provide sufficient time for the family to travel to Quebec. It is possible that 2 May 1870 from [GID-1870a] is the date that Ola Persson intended to leave Sweden (and that he left earlier) or that 10 May 1870 [LaAC-1870a3] is the date that the ship North American departed Liverpool rather than the date it arrived in Quebec.
