Gunhild Tostensdatter is one of my father's ancestors in Numedal, Buskerud county. She was born June 2, 1833, and her husband Ole was born October 30, 1828. They were married in Norway in 1860. Before emigrating to the US between 1865 and 1870, they had four children:
* Ingebret, born November 21, 1860
* Tosten, born November 21, 1861
* Kjersti/Christine, born May 21, 1863
* Hellick, born July 27, 1865.
After the family of six settled in the US, the following children were born:
* Gulbrand/Gilbert, born in Wisconsin in July 1870
* Elli/Ella, born in Iowa county, Wisconsin, October 18, 1873
* Ole, also born in Iowa county, Wisconsin, January 5, 1875
* Sarah, born - probably - January 24, 1876 in Wisconsin
* Gina, born August 29, 1878, in Otter Tail county, Minnesota.
I am wondering if it is possible to trace descendants of the family in today's US. It seems as if many of them lived parts of their lives in Otter Tail, Minnesota.
