Anna, Johan and Agnes were placed in an orphanage in Lyon County Iowa after the death of their parents, Amund Amundson and Emma Christine Johnson both from Norway. The Iowa census of 1900 shows the children on the list of residents.
There are many Amund Amundsons (sen) with the spelling poss. chgd at the time of immigration. My family only has a verbal story from my grandmother Agnes, now desceased] of the Roald connection. Agnes was b. in either North Dakota,USA or Dakota terr.
I am a friend of the granddaughter of Torkel Oftelie who wrote and was a friend of Roald A, However with so many years passed we cannot find any history of my greatgrandparents.

Hi Beverly,
some LDS records (www.familysearch.org) indicate that the children of Amund Amundson & Emma Johnson are born in South Bend, St.Joseph, Indiana. In addition to Anna, Johan and Agnes, they also list one Anton Emil Amundson, born 07 Sep 1881 in South Bend, St.Joseph, Indiana, dead 15 MAY 1973. Anton Emil married Alma Augustsson Johansson (of Swedish descent) on 15 Dec 1909 in St.Paul, Ramsey, Minnesota.

Father Amund Amundson is listed as born 19 May 1852 in Trondheim, Trondelag, Norway, dead 19 Jan 1892 in Hillsboro, Traill, No.Dakota

I found one Amund Amundsen, born May 19th, 1852 in Norway!

Amund Amundsen
Birth: 19 MAY 1852
Christening: 27 JUN 1852, Kvernes, Møre & Romsdal
Parents: Amund Rasmussen & Else Anna Johannesdr
Source: Møre og Romsdal county, Kvernes, Parish register (official) nr. 568A10 (1830-1853), Birth and baptism records 1852, page 163.

Amund is a twin with Ane Olava Amundsen. Amund and Ane Olava are listed as illegitimate childs, ie. parents are not married.

Here is Amund and Olava on the Stakvik farm in Kvernes, census-1865.
Their mother has married Ole Paulsen, and Amund and Olava are listed as his stepson (-daughter).
