  • Notes 
    • Sources [Meeker-2000k] and [GID-1857a] are in agreement that Pers Olson (Peter R. Ornberg) was born on 17 September 1852. [3, 10]
    • Like his siblings and father, Pers Olsson took the surname “Ornberg” soon after his emigration to the United States in 1870. [8, 10]
    • Pers Olsson (a.k.a: Peter R. Ornberg) appears to have been buried with three other individuals having the Ornberg surname. These are Chlaus (9 June 1975 - 21 June 1898), Ella (27 September 1877 - 29 October 1895), and Palley (23 December 1879 - 1 February 1905). It is likely these are children of Peter and an, as yet, unknown spouse. [1, 11]
