The newspaper article belonged to your mother. Most 5 generation pictures published in newspapers (at least in my experience) list all the people in the picture. What are the names of the people in yours?
You'll have to start your own research to find any such connection to the famed Norwegian explorer.
The place to start is with your own known and proven familty. You need to document names, dates and places. Only then can you compare your information to anything possibly available about the "cousins" of Roald Amundsen. If no such "cousins" information is published then you will have to continue your research until you find a common ancestor between the two men.
Hi everyone. I am new to this website. Hopefully someone can help me. I have been told that my Great Great Grandmother is somehow related to Roald Amundsen. Her name is Albertia Bronson Amundsen born 1842(3) in Xstiania. Her father is Guttorm Amundsen. Albertia married Mr. Christian John Danielson born 1825 in Nannestad. They married in 1859. Albertia and Christian had children, in which one daughter is Elizabeth Christine Danielson, born 1875 of Medford, USA, my Great Grandmother.
I have also found papers with her name spelled: Dorothea Albertian Amundson. But her tombstone says Albertie Bronson Amundsen.
I am not familiar with any websites in Norway. I greatly appreciate any help. Very Respectfully, Randy Fisher of Washington, D.C.
Roald Amundsen
