Hi all.

I was born in Norway, and was raised close to Kviberg farm where Thorleif Gravning Amundsen lived.
I also have some names, but need some help to put them into the right plaace on my tree.
Hjørdis Amundsen
Thordis
Gunne-Olaf
Amund Amundsen


My grandfathers name is Thorstein Amundsen, Married to Magnhild Synnøve

They got two children, Thorolf and Arne Gulbrand.

And it doesen´t end there. Rumours say that My great, great grandfaather on my fathers side was Captain on a slaveship and my great, great grandfather on my mothers side was pilot on the same ship. It was a muteney and the pilot trow himself in front of the captain and saved the captains life.


Any help, please. I´m fresh at this

Best

Thank you very much for your info.

However, since I'm as fresh at this as can be I can't seem to grasp or read the info correctly.

I'd like to know Thorstein Amundsens d.1933 brothers and Thorsteins parents.


Thank you

Best
