For a friend in Norway I'm searcing for descendants here in the U.S. of Gunder August Tormodsen. His father's name was Tormund Gjertsen, so it's possible he would also have gone by the name of Tormundsen or Gjertsen. Gunder was born on Aug. 1-1857 at Landøy, near Mandal, Norway (Vest-Agder). His mother's name was Olevine Johanne Gundersdatter (daughter of Gunder).

At a very young age Gunder went to sea, having had a falling out with his father, possibly some time between 1871 and 1874. The only contact the family subsequently had with him was in the form of a postcard with a picture of him, taken by Lothrops Photography Gallery at "43 North 8th St, East Side, above Filbert, Philadelphia, PA" (this text is taken from the back of the picture).

His family in Norway would very much like to know what happened to him and, if he settled and/or married in the U.S., get in touch with his descendants.
