Possibly this baby girl, born and died 1890:
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/e/r/Richard-A-Bergh/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0016.html
The above tree lists Eleda Alvilda as the first-born child of Martin Bergh and Karen Pedersen Overboe. Perhaps if you write to the church, they can confirm. No source given on the tree.
Tree also gives Martin and Karen a daughter Catherine Hoover. Find a Grave includes an obituary for a Catherine Hoover who married Martin and Karen's son Gerhard Bergh. Seems pretty unlikely Martin and Karen had a daughter Catherine Hoover. More likely the tree creator is confused about Catherine Hoover.

And maybe other facts as well.
If you click on Catherine Hoover it takes you to a page that lists her as the wife of Arhur Calmar Bergh one of the children of Martin. There maybe several mistakes in this tree. There is a tree on Ancestry.com that has a list similar but not identical. In which there are different names and birth dates for several of the children. |

About Andreas Paulsen, I'm not understanding who that is. Martin Bergh father? Guess this OP comes in from the other side Karen Overbo side.
Here is Catherine's obit:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=31043410
In some families a child born in 1890, and died as an infant, would still be remembered. Both my parents have stories of a child born in that era and died in infancy or early childhood. Maybe a canvas of descendants would turn up someone who has heard Alvilda's story. The cemetery marker says only "Alvilda Bergh" no dates, yet the tree creator (tree I posted) gives a full name and full birth and death dates. This makes me suspect he has or may have a legitimate source. |

I had wondered when I looked at the Family Tree posted by Jane if the Vilas was really a member of the family, but here he is in the 1920 Census. The line for Martin is unreadable in the orginal, so I assume the transcriber took a shot in the dark and guessed it was John?
