| Hello again! I just learned that my great-great grandfather, Gust Sunde, emigrated here from Norway. I don't know much else, except that he first married my great-great grandmother, Marne Brenne? either here in Minnesota or in Norway. She died around 1898, when my great-grandmother was 2 or 3, in Herman, MN. Any information you can find on either of them? Thanks! Shari |

Some indication of year would be nice. If they were married in Norway they probably came from the same parish. Farm names Sunde and Brenne can be found in Alstadhaug, Skogn Nord-Trøndelag.
Gust could be Gustav
and Marne could be Maren
They were both born approx 1862. |

Hi,
I'm in the possession of farmhistory books from Skogn, and Gustav Sunde is mentioned there.
Gustav is born 04 July 1862. His parents was Haldor Andersen Sunde & Guruanna Bertilsdatter Stormo. Haldor conveyed the property Sunde Nedre on November 24th, 1855.
Haldor Andersen Sunde, b. 10 Nov 1811 - d. 24 Apr 1887, father Anders Lambrigtsen Sunde (1774-1816).
Haldor married Guruanna Bertilsdatter By on 30 Oct 1851
Guruanna Bertilsdatter By, b. 28 Aug 1826 - d 29 May 1917, father Bertil Sørensen Sørmo
Haldor & Guruanna's children:
1. Baronline 27 Mar 1852, married Kristoffer Andreassen Brenne
2. Andrea 03 Aug 1854, married Hans Andreassen Hallan
3. Jonas 14 Dec 1856 - 22 Jan 1885
4. Anders 02 Oct 1859 - 24 Jul 1902. Next owner.
5. Gustav 04 Jul 1862
6. Bernhardt 15 Nov 1864 - 26 Jan 1887
7. Henriette 01 Sep 1867
8 Godtfred 17 Oct 1870
Here is a picture of Gustav's brother Anders Haldorsen Sunde:
Gustav's nieces (daughters of Anders H.S.):
Borghild (1890-1975) & Helga (1888-1971) Sunde.
The Brenne farm is next to Sunde, but I'm not so sure if she is the one linked to above, because this Maren (daughter of Jonas Rasmussen Brenne & Oline Jensdatter Skei) is listed as dead in 1880, according to the same bygdebook.

Greetings again, many years later. I so appreciate the information you have shared with me so generously. I have continued to research the genealogy of Gust and Maren Sunde over the years and the ONLY source for a death of Maren is in the Skogn bydgebok mentioned above. However, there is a Maren Rebekka Brenne born in 1862, emigrating to Amerika from Trondheim, on 26 Aug 1889. That link is:
A Maren (Mary) Brenne married Gust Sunde less than a year later on 8 Mar 1890 in Minneapolis. Is there any way to verify the accuracy of that Skogn book entry of Maren's death? |

Maren Rebekka Brenne is #33
Well, the written sources only seem to yield a single Maren Rebekka born in Trøndelag in the 1860ies. I haven't been able to access Skogn bygdebook yet, but I would be very suprised if the woman at #33 was not Jonas Rasmussen's daughter. |

I agree. After looking periodically over 15 years, one would think more supporting sources would have appeared by now to confirm her death in 1880 if it actually occurred. |

Following up on Maren Rebbekka Jonasdatter Brenne and her purported death in 1880, here is a clipping of the relevant passage in Skogn bygdebook. (Page 100 of Skogn historie 12: Øvre Skogn (2007, ed. Ivar Berre))
The passage mentions probate proceedings in 1883 when her mother took over the farm after the death of her father. I found the proceedings, thinking they might throw some light on the case. They start at the bottom of page 302 and top of page 303 here, and if I read it correctly, the estate is divided on the next page with 50% to the widow and 10% to each of five children, including Maren Rebekka, with no hint of her being deceased. |
