Well Gilbert may have some legs as a candidate. Here is the 1885 Minnesota State Census for Gunderman Thompson and family. The wife is named Engeber in this census. The children are listed as Thomas, John, Martha 21 Ingebright 19, Nils 17, Sarah 15, Betsey 13, Jennie 11, Ingebor 9, Andreas 7, Matilda 1.All listed as having been born in Norway except for Matilda. If Gilbert were a son of Gudmund he should be around Martha and Ingebright. .

Here is, I believe, the head of household Gudmund leaving Norway with wife Ingeborg, 2 year old Andreas, and an 11 year old Sigrid & others (you have to page through the children to see the group) heading for Osakis, Minnesota: http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/gen/vis/8/pe00000000067189
Sigrid is possibly the first wife of Olaf Buness in another topic on Norway Heritage. The brother Andreas is living with Sigrid's daughter Ida Brakken in the 1920 census.

So Gilbert Thompson could be the same person as Ingebright Gudmundsen? Well there is a Family Tree on Ancestry.com that thinks so as well. The Tree has no father listed for this person. Shown as
Gilbert "Ingebrigt Gudmundsen" Thompson Birth Jul 1866 in Norway Death
No spouse listed but six children are listed and the Tree is linked to the 1900 and 1910 US Census posted already by Jackie. The Tree is owned by a David Kluxdal.
Arrival of Ingebrigt and three siblings into Canada.

Redid it and it worked for me, try again and let me know. For some reason the link will not work as desired. It takes one to the main Trondheim Emmigration page. However if you enter the year and er lik and 1882. Followed by Ettternamn and Inneheld and Gud you will go to the correct page.
You have found much information about a guy with the name Gulbrand/Gudbrand - but he is NOT from Trøndelag, which is the complete page 2. As I wrote on the first page, he was born in Oppland!
Great work lyndal40. Anne, yes, that's right. In the beginning Gilbert Thompson looked as if he could be your Gudmund. As was said, not enough was known about Gilbert, to be sure. All the research was necessary to show whether he was the right guy or not. If more /new candidates are found, the same process will be needed again.
Gulbrand/Gudbrand Tomasson, born July 27, 1865
