Well, first here is an eight generation ahnentafel for Florence. As you can see, her grandparents were Stener Oleson and Oline Nilsdatter, of Oyer, Norway. She did have an older brother Julius, who I don't believe came to the US or may have died shortly thereafter. I'm doubly related to Florence because I descend from Nils's sister Anna Christina Oleson, who married Remus Romanzo Grant, and Remus was a cousin of Harriet Bigsby.
Also, here's a bit of interesting news for you. You are a direct descendant of convicted Salem witch Sarah Cloyce, as am I. She was played by Vanessa Redgrave in the PBS film "Three Sovereigns for Sarah". Her sisters Rebecca Nurse and Mary Esty were hung.
