Bertha was born on March 8, 1840, at Flisberget Farm near Elverum, Norway. She married Hans Pederson Graff (born 1834 in Norway, Aker(County)according to Elverum parish records).
Bertha used several surnames in her lifetime, perhaps Meyer and Graff are the most familiar. She is buried in the Oiland Cemetery, Roseau County, Minnesota, as Berta Meyer. Bertha and some of her children seemed to have regarded names as unimportant, using whatever name struck their fancy at the time.
Eventually, some of Bertha's children took the name Graff and some Meyer. Bertha's husband was Hans, so being Norwegian, Hanson was a viable alternative surname for the children, with at least one girl using that as a surname some of time.
Bertha's children included:
Peder Graff Meyer
Oluf Graff
Julius H Graff
Mina Hanson Graff Jacobson
Hannah Graff Jackson
Carrie Graff Thompson
Ludvig Graff
