Turid,

There is a Gotfred(Godfred) Gilbertson in a 1930 North Dakota census but he was born about 1881, and emigrated in 1884. He was 28 when he married Bertha who was 19. They have 10 children.
Wesley E. age 19.
Raymond L. age 17.
Donald L. age16.
Elneon M. age 13.
Loyed C. age 11.
Earl G. age 9.
Walter R. age6.
Howard E. age 5.
Gladys B. age 2 7/12.
Arubed L. age 6/12.

There is a Krist Gilbertsen in the 1910 census for South Dakota. Krist's age is 29, born about 1881, immigrated 1882, single, and a roomer(lodger).

Their parents, I have assumed, are living in North Dakota, and are in the 1910 and 1920 census, as Gilbert and Mary Gilbertson.

The 1910 census includes they had 10 children, 9 are living.
Gilbert, age 54, born in Norway, immigrated 188?
Mary, age 53, born in Norway, immigrated 1884.
George, age 24, born in Minnesota
Edward, age 11, born in North Dakota
Gunda, age 13, born in North Dakota

The 1920 Census lists another son.
Olaf, age 35 born in Minnesota.
Gilbert and Mary were both Naturalized citizens in 1886.

There is more available for Marcus and George and Krist. If you need a little more information let us know.
