I am confused here, as when I click on the above topic 3794, it takes me back to the topic on Roald Amundsen, not AMUND AMUNDSEN? Am I doing something wrong here?
I am still working on the descendents of LARS AND ELISE AMUNDSEN, my Grandparents, one noteworthy change which I can confirm is that CYRIL PERCY EDWARD, and Mick or Michael AMUNDSEN is the same person. he was also known as HARRY EDGAR EMERSON = I have a reference to this info from the Public Trustee, Napier.
thanks for all your work and help

I have been doing research on Roald Amundsen's life since I was 13, that is more than 30 years ago. I have managed to acquire all of the books he authored but "The Northeast Passage", and I am developing a site comemorating his life and achievements.
I have read here that Shirley Early, for instance, has lots of info on his genealogy. I would be very much interested in that, in case se or anyone else here would be willing to share it.
Thanks very much indeed.

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, Mĝre & Romsdal
Parents: Amund Rasmussen & Else Anna Johannesdr
Source: Mĝre 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).

| Thank you so much. This makes sense as I suspected an older son was previously at the same orphanage due to writings from orphanage material. I am going to check all of this out in detail. Thank you again. I am also going to try to now move this to the Amund/Norwgian ln America link. New here so not quite sure about navigation. |

Hello Shirley!
I am the great great grand daughter of Ole Jacob Amundsen - allegedly Roald Amundsen's first cousin who immigrated from Norway to North Dakota (and then into Canada). I'm trying to find that connection, however. If I understand correctly, Roald's father was Jens Amundsen and Ole Jacob's father was Ole Amundsen - I'm assuming Ole and Jens were brothers. Do you know who their parents were? I'd be grateful for any information. I'm completely new at this!
Thanks,
Jackie Ames

Hanna Henriette Gustava Sahlquist born 16 Feb 1837 in Glemmen she died 9 Se[t 1893 in Kristiania (Oslo) his father is Jens Engebreth Amundsen born 27 Dec 1820 in Snekotta Hvaler he died 15 Aug 1886
I have tons more information on the family, and would really love to hear from you via my email address, as I too am in NZ
it is all very exciting, I have done a lot of Norwegian research, and of course would love to help fill in some gaps esp. for my personal family cheers Shirley.

Hi Pip,
Re AMUND AMUNDSEN, my Great Grandfather,
according to papers sent to me some years ago by second cousin Noel Murray of Auckland (now dec'd), AMUND was born on 06.11.1841, his father was AMUND PEDERSEN KALNESET MOLDUSBRATEN, who died on 17.12.1876; and his mother was KARI DANIELSD MULDUSEN die 10.01.1808. (I also have AMUND's death cert which shows his father as AMUND AMUNDSEN0.
There is a lot of info in these papers and I would be happy to post you a cop[y if you would like to check them out for accuracy etc? if you would email me your postal address Ill post a copy off to you. I haven't done much on this side of the family for some time, so am trying to catch up now. (I have just ordered a copy of WW1 service records for Albert Alfred William (George) AMUNDSEN - my Uncle)
many thanks for your work, regards

Jackie.
I missed that you had all the answers from Shirley, sorry.
Well, interesting answers may not be repeated to often (Norwgian saying)
I think I have been working with Snĝkotta in an earler topic here in Norway Heritage.
