| Im looking for any information about my grandfather Hans, or the Lindstrøm line. His fathers name was Jens, and my great grandmother was related to Roald Amundsen the famous explorer. my grandfather came to canada on a waling ship in the early 1900's and we lost our Norwegian name to Jensen for the sake of the government, if anybody has any info that would be great :) |

Hi,
Here is the headstone of your great grandmother, Hans' mother:

When you get to the point of searching for the connection to Roald Amundson you might want to do a forum search here at norwayheritage. Many families have this story of a connection in their lore and have explored it here.

Hans parents were married in Grønland church Dec 9 1888, see #102.
Jens Jensens (Lindstrøm) father was Hans Jensen and Inger Marie Amundsens father is listed as Ingebret Andersen?
Inger Marie was baptized June 5 1865, see #37 - her father Engebret Amundsen and her mother Anne Amundsdatter.
Inger Maries parents and siblings in 1865.

Roald Amundson as a relative or ancestor is a common family tale in US and elsewhere.
Too bad that the original poster appears to have never come back to let us know if her Hans is the Hans we found.... |

"No smoke without fire" as we say in Norway.
There are "often" inquires from people in America and Australia who have heard that they are related to the explorer Roald Amundsen.
Most likely some are since there are more persons of Norwegian origin in America than in Norway. There are ca 7000 with surname Amundsen in Norway today, the vast majority are not related to each other.
