Gunda (Gunhild) Knutson married Oscar Munson.
This document is about her family.
The family lived at Lom, Oppland, Norway, where the children were born and moved about 1882-1884 to Aasen, Vågå, Oppland, Norway.

Gunda's father was Iver Aason (Aasen) Knutson (Knudsen in Norway) born on April 22nd, 1854, Aasen Övre Gard, Vågå (old spelling Vaage), Norway and died on May 9th, 1926, Spokane, Spokane CO, WA (they had gone out west to live with a daughter). Iver had two brothers that were living in American, at the time of his death; Ole and Andrew. He is listed in the 1895, 1900, 1910, and 1920 census for Rice lake, Barron CO, WI. In the passenger ship records we find: Iver K Aasen (Knudsen/Knutson), laborer aged 37, and Anna Aasen (Jørgensdatter), 60 year old widow, left Christiania (Oslo, Norway) on July 1 1892 on the ship Montebello, to go to England. They listed their destination New York. They arrived on the Steamship Adriatic (built 1871) from Liverpool, arriving at NY on July 16, 1892. Info from ship record: Iner (Iver) Ausen, aged 37, born Sweden (should be Norway), a farmer, going to Dakota and (his mother) Anna Ausen, aged 60, born Sweden (a mistake again, should be Norway), housewife, going to Wisconsin (she had other sons living in Wisconsin). Iver and his mother were using the name of the farm they lived on in Norway, as a surname on their voyage over. The rest of the family came over in 1893; Thora and the children. In the 1900 census Iver's mother, Anne Jørgensdatter, is listed with them in Rice Lake. Anne Jørgensdatter was born Aug 14th, 1830 Vågå and died April 16th, 1909 Rice Lake and is buried with Iver and family, under that surname, Jørgensdatter. Her father was Jørgen Olsen. Ivers parents, Knud Iversen and Anne Jørgensdatter, were married on Oct. 25th, 1855 at Vågå. Knud Iversen's parents were Iver Knudsen (born about 1790 in Vågå) and Gunhild Olsdatter (born about 1795 in Vågå). They lived with Knud Iversen in the 1865 Norway census, but were not listed in 1875 Norway census. Knud died on Jan. 5th, 1889, at Vågå and is buried there.

Iver's wife was Thora Olsdatter (she used the surname Moen in American records), born Oct 20th, 1856, Blakersmoen Gard, Lom, Norway. Iver and Thora were married on June 20th, 1880 at Lom, Oppland CO. Thora parents were Ole Hansen born 1821 Lom and Barbro Johnsdatter born 1829 Lom. Thora is living in the 1930 census living with her daughter Inga at Stanford, Barron CO, WI. Thora Knutson died on July 30th, 1931, North St. Paul, Ramsey CO, MN where Inga had moved to. They are all buried at Nora Cemetery of Rice Lake in Barron County, WI and their graves are marked and they are on "findagrave.com" on the internet. At the time of her death, Thora had 24 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren and two sisters that were living in the states.
