Petter Sundt born 1844-1907, captain of steamship ?? never emigrated. Buried at Old Church in Kviteseid.
His son, my grandfather, Anton Sundt, born 1873, emigrated probably around 1890-1898 with older brother Alfred to Stoughton, WI. Married in Dane County, WI Oct. 1900.
Just looking for any info on the family and how/when they emigrated. |

View from Skinderberget, todays Skinnarberga, to the west against the river and the waterfall.
The old large stone-building in front was the Royal Mint and contains a museum today.
