I do not have this particular Buness in my family tree, but, Julie Kristiansdatter Bunæs (1862-1907), emigrated from Eidsvoll, Akershus, Norway to Gordon, Todd, MN on May 25, 1905.
It would be interesting to see if they are connected. Some of the information about this family can be found in the following post topics:

It's not really so much a change of name as a restatement of a name and the adjustments people took to fit into Yankee society.
The "classic" Norwegian name consisted of 3 parts, the given or first, then the patronymic from your father's given or first name and then, third an address usually the name of the farm you lived on. The system in Norway was that your patronymic name changed each generation as it matched your father's given name. If you moved from one farm to another you would amend your name to reflect the new farm name.
When Norwegians who were used to following Norwegian naming practice came here they had to change to the Yankee way of inheriting a surname. They had many choices and each person or each family did what they felt best.
So your ancestor was actually Ole Karl Rasmussen. His father was Rasmus Christianson. Because of their association with the Bunæs farm they would have had that name as part of their name. In America because we get our surnames from our fathers--most typically- the family might have decided to be Christianson after their father's patronymic. But maybe they liked Bunæs instead and used it. |

My great-grandmother is Caroline Margrete Buness (Ramberg) and she had like 6 brothers. One of them being Karl Buness, another one August Buness. Caroline married Olaf Ramberg and had Ruben Ramberg (my Grandfather).
I don't know if that helps. |

Yes certainly it helps identify Caroline in the USA. Maybe you already had all this information, above, about your Caroline and her family? I can't quite tell if you are clear that this is your kin.
I love the immigration record that was posted, showing Caroline (Karoline Margrete) immigrating with her family as a baby. On Ancestry.com database for land records in Minnesota, you can see that Rasmus Buness has the middle initial C. (for Rasmus Christenson Buness).
A Find a Grave link was already posted - here's what Find a Grave says about Caroline.
Caroline Margrete Buness
Birth: Apr. 19, 1892, Norway
Death: Jun. 6, 1966, Fertile, Polk County, Minnesota, USA
Caroline married Olaf Ramberg born 21 Oct. 1889, Polk County, Minnesota, and died 29 Dec. 1962, Fertile, Polk County, Minnesota, USA
Both buried: Concordia Cemetery, Fertile, Polk, Minnesota
Son of Olaf and Caroline: Ruben Arthur Ramberg (1913 - 1998)
Caroline's parents, info from Find a Grave:
Rasmus Buness
Birth: Oct. 5, 1834, Norway
Death: Oct. 9, 1926, Erskine, Polk County, Minnesota, USA
and
Martha Olsen
Birth: Dec. 12, 1848, Sweden
Death: Nov. 25, 1925, Erskine, Polk County, Minnesota, USA
Both buried Rodnes Lutheran Cemetery, Erskine, Polk, Minnesota
CHILDREN of Rasmus and Martha as listed on Find-a-Grave:
Karl Ole Buness (1873 - 1958)*
John Christianson Buness (1876 - 1924)*
August Carl Buness (1880 - 1939)*
Emil Buness (1882 - 1944)*
Markus Buness (1885 - 1903)*
Anton Carl Buness (1888 - 1949)*
Caroline Margrete Buness Ramberg (1892 - 1966)*
eibache posted the baptismal record for Rasmus, above. On the record, if I read it correctly, he is called Rasmus Christianson, Kopperud. (Kopperud being the family place name at that time.)
