My Great-Great Grandparents were Jacob Olsen Kjorstadmoen was born December 7, 1824, in Harpefoss, Sor-Fron kommune, Oppland fylke, Norway and Kristiana Hovenmoen Moe. Jacob died on June 22, 1879 at the age of fifty-four, and is buried at the Sor-Fron Cemetery in Hundorp Norway.
Kristiana Hovenmoen Moe was born March 24, 1826, in Sor-Fron kommune, Oppland fylke, Norway. Kristiana died on Dec 29, 1907, in Alliance Box Butte County, Nebraska, and is buried at the Saint John’s Lutheran Cemetery in Hemingford, Nebraska.

Looking for any history on Kristiana between June of 1879 and her death in December 1826. Any suggestions on how to get started?

If she was in US search to find her in US Federal censuses. 1900, for instance, carries a lot of information.

"United States, Census, 1900", FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M3BV-7WD : Fri Nov 08 01:10:47 UTC 2024), Entry for Ole J Moe and Mary I Moe, 1900.

Here in the 1875 census, Ole is gone from home:
