Spouse 1: Britta Peterson

(NOTE: a 2nd spouse for Hector was mentioned--born on same day and in same place, but died 2 months apart in the US. Her name given as Britta Hansdotter Rodmyr).

PATERNAL GREAT-GRANDPARENTS:
Halver Halverson Torrisen: b. Norway
Spouse
Britha Harjemsnaes : b. Norway

www.familysearch.org--(not sure if this is the same great-grandfather, but timeline is about right if his son was born in 1830):
Halvor TORRISEN
Birth: 30 Dec 1796 Place: Verdal, Nord-Trondelag, Norway
Christening: 08 Jan 1797 Place: Verdal, Nord-Trondelag, Norway
Death: 14 Mar 1802 Place: not listed
Parents:
His Father: Torris PEDERSEN

(Note: I am taking a chance on this being Etta's paternal great-great grandfather, but usually in Norway and Sweden, a son or daughter takes their father's first name and add "son or sen" or "dottr" at the end of it as their surname. This name fits the pattern with all the above, as well as the timeline):
TORRIS PEDERSEN
Christening: 11 DEC 1768 Hof, Hedmark, Norway
Father: PEDER HALVORSEN
Mother: RONNOU OLSD
OR it could be this man:
Torris Pedersen
Birth: 1754
Death: 1814
Father: Peder Torrisen
Mother: Elisabet Olsdatter b: 1714
Married: 1735

Answer 2

It would help if you could tell me what year she was born.

Here's what I found:

Etta L. b. 1891
Children: George L. b. 1919 in New Mexico

Estelle R. b. 1924 in Minnesota
Stanley O. b. 1928 in Minnesota

Minnesota State Census of 6/10/1905
George T. Peterson
Parents: Otto Peterson & Johanna P. Peterson
Parents born in Wisconsin

Census of 1920 Albuquerque, New Mexico

Etta Peterson
George Peterson (1-1/2 years old)
George T. Peterson was working as an apprentice.

I did find Etta Luella Holverson not Halverson in the census of 1910 for Waukesha, Wisconsin
Parents: Andrew F. Holverson & Miranda Holverson
Children: Elmer age 28
Annie age 24
Clarence age 19
Etta age 16

You might consider contact Hamline University Alumni Assoc. for more information about Etta's family.

Answer 3

If you want to contact her, you could try the Alumni association. Buy a postcard, write your name, e-mail, phone on it, add a stamp, sent it to the alumni association asking them to send it to her. If they have her address they will, usually.

A post card is cheaper than a letter, they can see you are not begging for money or threatening her, and she has the option of calling you or not, as she sees fit, so they haven't violated her privacy.
