The query could be improved by adding her birthdate, birthplace, and any information on parents or siblings that you know.

I did find her on the 1900 census, which says she is born in Norway June of 1870. If you click on the link, you can also click around on the other family members to get their information.

Child Ester Engebretson F 10y
Child Andrew Engebretson M 14y
Child Ruth Engebretson F 2y

you can see from the children's ages that their mother has died, and Nettie was probably called upon to help, or had been originally hired to help, and a relationship happened. Ruth must be her own.

Back in time, 1885, here is Albert with his parents, and siblings.

Albert is born in Iowa, of Norwegian immigrant parents. Their oldest son was born in Iowa about 1860, and the younger kids born in Minnesota, so the family moved to Medo Township, Blue earth County sometime in there, probably homesteading.

Between Bessie born 1864 and Bernie born 1869, was their move.

Here is someone online who has purchased a photo of Albert's parents, Ole and Carrie Engebritson from Medo, Blue Earth, MN
