Albert Solberg, born Alert Iversen Solaas emigrated to the United States in 1909 from the Hyllestad municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county in southwestern Norway. After staying in Wisconsin for a few months, he went to live with his uncle, Ole Waagseth, near Dogtooth, North Dakota. In 1912, Albert moved to north of Dodson, Montana where he homesteaded and lived for most of the rest of his life. When he visited Norway in 1925 he met Olga Skaar Eikelid who had been only a toddler in Skor Valley when he'd left Norway in 1909. On 23 April, 1929, Olga and Albert were married at the Norwegian Seamen's Church in Brooklyn, New York. Albert and Olga expanded on the homestead north of Dodson and raised ten children, Ingwald, Sarah, Arthur, Selma, Norman, Harold, Edward, Sidney, Carl and Ralph.
