MY Knute Knudson does not have a son Andrew? I am assumming they are a different family with the same name? Our Knute was born 5 Oct 1841, and his father Born Knud Christopherson (changed to Knudson was born about 1819. My family records show the name Knute not Knudt? Since they change names, and spelling hard to tell. Let me know if you think there is a connection.

Hello, I just read your note. I have a great, great, grandfather Knute Knudson born 5, oct, 1841. He married Tora Halsten (?)not sure of spelling. Is this the same Knute in your family? I have recently moved to ND, so would be fun to locate other family members. Let me know please........

This is a second reponse to your inquiry. I looked through everything my mother left me, and everything I have researched, and I have not found a Andrew Knudson. Could he be a brother to Knud Knudson? That would be a different family? Our Knute was born 5 oct 1841 in Valders, Norway. SInce so many people have the same names, I have to wonder if it is a totally different family? Let me know ok?

Alexra, I was looking at some stuff of mothers, one paper says that her great, great, grandfather was born at Gaarden Braaten (meaning farm,called Braaten) in 'Sondre Curdahl, Valders Norway. (Meaning South Ourdahl, Valders, division similar to our state in this country, Norway.

Surnames: Knudson, Knudstr.
Christine - we are related then! How exciting!!
Your information is correct re Knute's father: Knud Christofferson Knudson Sor Lie, born at Gaarden Braaten 15 Feb 1820. I have quite a few ancestors beyond that, courtesy of Valdres Samband's genealogist. She more or less provided a "framework" of ancestors, gleaned from the Gard og Bygde from Etnedal (farm books), enough to guide my steps, anyway.

For a start, Knud's parents: Knud Christofferson Braaten b bef 1784 in Etnedal m 1 Oct 1804 in Nord Aurdal to Anne Oysteinsdtr Espelien b 1784.
Knud's wife Kari Knudsdtr neer Espelien' parents were Knud Anderson Espelien b 15 Mar 1769 in Etnedal d 1833 Etnedal and buried at Aurdal church, and Guri Andersdtr Prestoye b 22 Apr 1781 in Etnedal.
I was online over the weekend hunting the digital archives of Norway and found Knute's dad's baptismal record (1820) as well as the marriage record for Knud and Kari 16 Nov 1840. They are a bit hard to decipher, but...I haven't had time to do much other hunting as yet. I can send them to you, if you'd like.
Anyway, cousin, The Valdres Samband website will tell you how to subscribe to the newsmagazine (I think it is about $25). Going to the stevne would be great because you can access the genealogists they have there to help you with your research, and you can quite likely find family there too. I wish I oould go this year, but my schedule doesn't fit. Perhaps we can plan for next year?!
You can contact me at my home email: nanaalex@msn.com and I can send you the rest of what I have. I also have pics of Knud and Kari too that I can scan for you. I guess we need to compare what each of us has, don't you think?
Great to hear from you.

Surnames: Knudson
i just wanted to say that he is my great great great grandfather i think. I know i am related to knudt johanessen knudson and Andrew Knudson and i know they were from norway. My great, grandfather before he died said that knudt j. knudson ,his grandfather, was very mean and his dad andrew ran away a few times when he was a kid and i think my dad said they were farmers.....I think this is cool because i can make a connection. My grandfather is Lyle Knudson and they came from the northern area like wisconsin, north dakota, minnesota, etc.
I am wondering who he was in relation to you and why you are interested in him. Maybe we are distantly related? I live in Florida but my family is originally from San Diego, California.
