Bertha Wang entered the discussion because she was named as the mother of the Ahlson who married Denzil Scollard. So the Scollards might not be related to you? Here is what the record says:
Name: E. Denzil Scollard Titles & Terms: Event: Marriage Event Date: 26 Dec 1941 Event Place: Sidney, Richland, Montana Age: 30 Estimated Birth Year: 1911 Father: David G. Scollard Mother: Agnes Cowden Spouse: Audrey Ahlsen Spouse's Age: 23 Spouse's Estimated Birth Year: 1918 Spouse's Father: Anton Ahlsen Spouse's Mother: Bertha Wang Volume/Page/Certificate Number: item 2 cn 3812 Film Number: 1905316 Digital Folder Number: 4351326 Image Number: 536
Source Citation "Montana, County Marriages, 1865-1950," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F37P-PLX : accessed 2 April 2012), Anton Ahlsen in entry for E. Denzil Scollard and Audrey Ahlsen and null (1941).

(Hans) Anton Ahlsen is right person, but Bertha's last name "Wang" is not right, I dont know where Wang is coming from. Mabe it was 2 Anton Ahlsen and 2 Bertha, I'm not sure, but I will wait and look if I can get som answer from the newspaper in Williston. Many peoples changed theire names, too!
In the census 1900 in Norway it's 1 Hans Anton Ahlsen. |

I saw that it's standing (first name) Christine and (last name) Engerberg as mother to Bertha in the census 1920 and she was a widow, but the mothers name is (first name) Engerberg (Ingeborg) and (last name) Christiansen. She was marry to Christian Andersen and the kids she had with him used Christiansen. I would like to get email adress to David Scollard, but I can't find it, just tlf.nr., (but I think its difficult to speak english in the telephone). It's not sure his kids know about theire relatives or not have interest. I hope Audrey Ahlsen is the right person, and I hope to get contact with D. Scollard. |

Hi,
Technically, the relationships given in the census records are the person's relationship to the head of the household. In this case Anton Ahlsen is the head--so Christine might be his mother rather than Bertha's mother. However I just checked at www.familysearch.org and Christine Engerberg is transcribed as mother-in-law, rather than mother.) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MCD9-K8T
The 1940 census is now out it would be interesting to see if Amalie had become Audrey in that census. No searchable index yet for it.
http://1940census.archives.gov/
These are all the E.D. numbers for Williston. There are apt to be a lot of pages to load and look through--for instance 53-64A has 20 pages: 53-64A 53-64B 53-65A 53-65B 53-66A 53-66B 53-67A 53-67B 53-68A 53-68B 53-69
There are not so many people of the last name Ahlsen in North Dakota. The death index listings for Bertha and Anton given earlier are the only of those first names in the database.
Williston in Williams County is the on the western edge of North Dakota bordering Montana...

I've now signed in to the Ancestry and have more to look at. I just found David Scollard at facebook as friend to Darikka and Winston Scollard. I've written to him and is waiting for a answer, interesting! I belive Engerberg (Ingeborg) was Bertha's mam, because Bertha's mam was born 1846. (She could be H.A. mam, too). |

I found the bapt. Hans Anton Ahlsen. He was born 9. September 1873, bapt. 12. October 1873 in Sandar, Vestfold, (vest from Oslo), Norway. His parents were (seaman) Johannes Ahlsen and Amalie Hansdt., and they lived at a farm (?) named Store (big) Bergan. Liv |

Based on her name in the 1920 census as a misread of Ingeborg Christianson. Here is a death record from the North Dakota Public Death Index for Ingeborg:
CHRISTIANSON, INGEBORG died 03/21/1926 Williams FEMALE 80 Years born 01/17/1845 North Dakota Williams
Ingeborg, in the actual census schedule for 1920 gives 1909 as her migration date to the US. Likely she and Bertha came together since Bertha's migration date is also given as 1909.
Census taker was having a rough go the day this family's info was taken. The daughter Borgheld is listed as "son" but also f for female! |

Here are the only Ahlsen entries in the North Dakota Naturalization Records Database:
Lastname Firstname Country Papers Date County Volume Page Comments Ahlsen Anton Norway 1st April 09, 1918 Williams D-8 488 Ahlsen Anton Norway 2nd September 28, 1920 Williams P-19 154 Ahlsen Hans Anton Norway 1st January 07, 1905 Grand Forks D-11 402 Ahlsen Oivind E Norway 1st October 20, 1931 Grand Forks D-18 1839 Ahlsen Oivind Erling Norway 2nd August 29, 1938 Williams P-23 036
Hans' date of migration in the 1920 census was given as 1904 so entirely possible that the 1905 filing is his, and forgotten or etc.
Here is the patent of Hans Anton Ahlsen's homestead in Ward County, N.D.:

You asked long ago for marriage information on Bertha and I believe this is her marriage to Hans from www.mncounty.com:
HENNEPIN 01810308 2/26/1915 AHLSEN, HANS WARY, BIRTHA
The original record of this is probably handwritten which interpretation of the bride's last name might lead to something like "Wang"
And here is the image of their marriage application at www.familysearch.org, her age given as 26 and his as 41: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-17876-65258-94?cc=1803974 |

I've look at this family too, but they are another, not my relatives. It's curious that 2 families with mam and dad with same names. Ahlsen-names is a sell name in Norway, I've seen it most in Fredrikstad/Halden in Østfold co, Norway. I most have focus at Ahlsen in Williston, they are the right. It had been fun to find the birthday for Amelie / Audrey, maybe she was born in Hennepin? |
