I think you need to hold your horses..., your great great grandmother has not been located yet. 
There are a few clues to who she could be, but no final proof yet, as far as I can see.

| One thing to keep in mind, Oliver is a fairly uncommon name in Norway but it could also be an Americanization of people named Ole Iver. |

What is Olivers birth date? The various census information for 1900, 1910 and 1920 gives scattering information, both for birth and immigration.
And where did you find his fathers name and year of birth?

Hi, I found Peter's information in the 1880 census and Oliver's DOB and arrival is conflicting with the 1900 census and New York Passenger lists 1820-1957. I have no idea which one is correct. Peter's information was given to me from someone from ancestry. I posted a few messages about information about him on ancestry. I have attached each of the documents.

| Nancy, the 1880 census record does not seem to pertain to your family... |

How do you connect Peter Everson in Chicago, Cook, Illinois to Oliver Everson in Seattle, King, Washington?

I think this is the one and only match of Oliver in the Norwegian records found so far. Good finding, Jackie!
Name and year of emigration is correct, and his first child was born in California.

The dates of born do not correspond for the parents with the dates given in this forum.
Bergen 1865
- Merchant Peder Gerhard Iversen b. 1828 in Bergen and Inger Anna (Olsdatter) Røbek born 1824 in Molde (Bolsøy?)
The parents with three children in Bergen 1865, no Oliver but an Olaf Severin b. 1859 in Bergen
This is a strong candidate. "Olaf Severin" can be "Oliver Severin" in the USA - "Oliver S." Can we find Olaf Severin going to England? Nancy's family story says Oliver went first to England, as a seaman, then to the West Coast of the USA.
If the forum chooses to ignore the 1880 census, then the birth date of Peter Everson above is not a problem.

Actually lyndal40 has the same information posted on this forum about Peter Everson. I have no idea if he is the same person.

About Olaf Severin birth record - good find!
This is brilliant progress!
So Olaf Severin is born 06 November 1859.
The 1900 US census says "Oliver S" was born in November.
1910 and 1920 US census say he's born in 1860, which also agrees with his death record.
Oliver S. parents on death record are Peter Everson and NN Robeck.
Olaf Severin parents are Peder Iversen and Inger Anne Røbek.
Oliver S in the USA named his son IVAR
It's a good fit!
lyndal40 found the immigration record of Oliver arriving San Francisco via Hamburg, which matches jkmarler's emigration record, for a trip beginning 23 May 1893 in Kristiansand on the Hamburg line. Nancy's Oliver had lived previously in San Francisco, known via death information about his daughter Hilda. (I'll try to find where I read that - got it - Hilda died 1901 in Washington; Washington digital archives death record says she was born 1898 in San Francisco, California). The locations of San Francisco and Seattle also fit with family memories that Oliver worked for the Robert Dollar Lines, which were based exclusively on the West Coast at this time (see Wikipedia). I agree - the record most likely refers to Nancy's Oliver. |
