I'm looking for information on Gudmund Johnson Kirkhus.
From the US Census records we believe the family immigrated around 1854.
we know of two children born in Norway. Gundhild born Jul 8 1845 and Peter born Jun 20 1853.
Where the other children in Norway? Where was the Kirkhuus farm? When did they leave Norway?
