What are the names of the brothers of Roald Amundson? Some sites have Gustave and Leon as two different people and some with the name GustaveLeon as one. Roald refers at times to Gustave and at other times Leon.
Also Noble and Martin on sites. Only 3 brothers. I am confused...Beverly Hiatt

Hi.
Roald Amundsen had three older brothers, the parents lived in China where Jens Ole Antonius Amundsen was born 1866 before they returned to Norway.
- Gustav Salquist Amundsen born in Borge June 1868
- Leon Henry Benham Amundsen born in Borge Sept. 1870.

Less known about Rolad Amundsen is this episode.
Early January 1896 the two brothers Leon and Roald Amundsen were crossing the mountain plateu Hardangervidda on ski where the weather in the wintertime can be very rough and dangerous.
They got lost and Roald nearly died in a snow cave during a break. He was rescued by Leon at the last minute.
News about Amundsen:
1902 Amundsen tried to be the first to travers the North West passage, north of Canada, with his ship Gjøa.
He and the crew stayed for almost two years in what later was called Gjøahavn-Gjøa Harbour, current Gjoa Haven
In 2007 Norwegian TV visited Gjøahavn and interviewed people who lived there , among other things, to someone who told they were descendants of Amundsen.
August 2009.
An expedition from the Norwegian navy left Tromsø for the sea of Bjørnøya in searsh for Roald Amundsens airplane Latham with the Untonomous underwater vehicle Hugin 1000.
If all data collected is reviewed I do not know.

| I'm brand new here, but I came across this forum in my attempt to locate any keys to tracking down . My entire life my family has mentioned that I am related to Roald Amundsen, but no connection was ever made. Any mention of this was always matter of fact. Recently I was provided a very sparse family tree on the Amundsen side of my family, but I am not able to make any connection to Roald as it only goes back to my Great Grandfather Amund Amundsen of Oslo. This paper states he was born in 1857 in Borum. I see that Shirley of NZ has a lot of information on this, but I am unable to contact her via email as I am too new here. Any information that can be passed along is greatly appreciated!! |

Hi,
If you have an exact date of birth you would be able to look in the baptism records of Bærum at the Norwegian digital archives (with less pain that is) to see if your Amund Amundson is found there

The 1865 census shows that 7 Amund Amundsen were born in 1857. None of them born or living in Bærum.
Info in your family tree may be of help for further studies.

| You are correct. The notes are hand written, and it appears his place of birth states "Borion, Norway (near Oslo)". I would assume that it is Bærum?? It also states that he died February 11, 1924 in Alcester, South Dakota. I noticed that his first born son (my Great Uncle), Aksel Ingvald, was born October 7th, 1883 in "Norde Odalen, Oslo". So it appears that he resided in Odalen until some point in the 1890s where he appears in Alcester, South Dakota. Thanks so much for the help on this. |

Hi,
If the Amund Amundson in the 1920 US Fed Census in Union County S.D. is yours--it appears the family came about 1906. The last 5 children, aged 3-14, were all born in South Dakota. It looks like a year of migration is included as 1906.
Alf may be in the WWI draft registration cards with a birthdate and place--that might help.
This family may also appear in the 1900 Norwegian census....
Hilsen,

Hi,
It appears that I've lost my ability to edit my previous posts!
Here I'm pasting in from the Emigranter i Kristiania list from the Norwegian Digital Archives which shows at least two members of the family Amund and son Emil leaving in 1906:
