The record indicates he previously resided in "Ladvik".
Emigranter fra Bergen 1874-1930
My guess would that Lavik and Gulen areas in Sogn og Fjordane would where you should search for earlier information.
Can you specify what information you are looking for? |

A family lives on one of the farms named Løbø at the time of the 1865 Norwegian census, probably of interest to you -

| Thanks for your reply. I already have the information you gave me but I don`t have any information about him after he left Norway, if he got married, had any children or when or where he died, probably somewhere in the US? |

He arrived in New York on 27 Apr 1899 on the ship Majestic, which departed from Liverpool, England.
What is his exact birthdate? I found a Gunder in Minnesota, but not sure if it's right. |

| There is a Gunder T Lohe b Oct 1868 (the census are mistaken a lot) who is a servant (farm laborer) in Lee, Norman, Minnesota. That is why I asked for his birthdate. There is also a Gunder Lobo arriving 8 Jul 1904 on the ship Lake Champlain, departed from Liverpool, England and arriving in Quebec, Canada...maybe he went back to Norway for a visit? |

| Thanks again for your new information. You have found the right guy, he was home in Norway on a visit in 1904 and left Bergen, Norway on the 23th of june the same year. I didn`t know that his ship was going to Canada, the record I have of this travel says that his destination was Moorhead, Minnesota? |

Yes, that is correct. That is what his destination was, however, he stopped in Quebec first then went to Minnesota. I can't find any other Gunder Lobo, but I did find a Gunder Liabo in Aurdal, Otter Tail, Minnesota...year of arrival is wrong, so I'm not sure if it's him or not.
Do you know his birthdate? |
