Knud Olsen Hundeby and Anne Guttormsdatter [Nordgarden]: Hundeby Family History: Goplerud, Gonvick, Gonwick, Godtland, Strand by Pamella Wood Solwey
The couple, married in 1830, hailed from the Grue and Hof parishes, Sølor region of Hedmark fylke/county, Norway. They immigrated to America in 1852 with three children (Gunnerius/17, Oleane Marie/15, and Theodor/10); two children remained behind (Ole K. Strand/20 and Karen Matie/12). The family eventually settled in Silver Lake Township, Worth County, IA. Many years later, their son, Theodore K. Hundeby, recalled the family’s immigration journey: We took passage on the sailing vessel, Fordenskjold, and after eight weeks, landed at Quebec, Canada. "We were then forwarded by canal boats, although we had no means wherewith to pay our fare to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Here we were left, on the sand by the lake, with two dollars in cash and our little baggage. Father started out to see if he could find anyone to take us out in the country. Coming out to Calvin’s Prairie, twenty miles from Milwaukee, he recognized Mr. Brede Vesleaasen, working in the field—the only one who had left Sølor before us. Father asked if he could loan him five dollars so that he could get his family out there if he worked there that summer. …The following August we rigged a pair of steers, an old wagon, and two cows, and started for Decorah, Iowa."
