I'm asking a favor from someone who might be able to search the Furnes (Hedmark) bygdeboker for information.
A man named Even Lundberg b 1847 d 1929 and the names of each of his children from two marriages is what I seek.
In particular, I'm interested in his daughter Gonner, who came to US in 1909, lived in Becker county Minnesota in 1910, who may be the Gunwor Lundberg who married in 1912 in Minneapolis to James B Palmer; but most certainly married a man named James Sidney Todd in 1917 in Arizona, In the 1910 census her given name is rendered as Gertie Lunberg, in the 1925 Iowa state census she is identified as Gunwor/Gunwar/Gunvor Todd (and her parents id'd as Even Lundberg and Berthe Christianson), in 1910 the passenger list record of her brother Bernt Evenson Lundberg gives her name as Gunwar Lundberg, but in all other records in which she is found her given name is rendered as Bertha. In 1930 census she is living in Milford, Seward county, Nebraska and later years in Denver and possibly buried in Littleton Colorado. During the 1st World War, she & her husband were living in California.
This is part of an adoption search, see this link for details:

Her departure from Norway to America:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/8/pe00000000598103
Her arrival occurs 9 June 1909 on SS CF Tietgen New York, her destination is transcribed as Kuhlin North Dakota to her brother in law CO Husgs? Don't know of any town named Kuhlin but there is a Kulm in LaMoure county, North Dakota. The one known sister (actually 1/2 sister) & brother in law that are Oline who married Olaf Anderson / Nilsen, is there another sister listed in bygdeboker?
Here she is in 1910 census:

Her husband's WWi draft reg card:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KZKM-PDN
Gonner's probable FAG:

So would appreciate someone to look in the Furnes bygdebok for Even Paulsen Lundberg and his family. Thank you.

Lundberg is not a typical farm name, and the Even you are looking for may not be referred to as Even Lundberg in the bygdebooks. But Furnes is not a large place, and I believe Even Paulsen may be a good candidate. His mother was named Gunnor, so he would be very likely to pass on that name to a daughter. Here is his baptism. His father Paul was not a farm-owner, which is always a complication when looking through the bygdebooks, but I will have a try tomorrow...

Okay thanks for that! |

Even's dodsfallsprotokol doesn't list any survivors #1 in Nov 1929:
SAH, Brumunddal lensmannskontor, H/Ha/L0001: Dødsfallsprotokoller, 0002: Dødsfallsprotokoll, 1913-1931

Gonner is from the 2nd marriage. Oline is from the first marriage. There are numerous online family trees which have Even, but they almost all, miss daughter Gonner / Gunvor/ Gunwar. The two youngest siblings in the 2nd marriage Bernt and Elias each came to US as well. Bernt was wounded during his WWI service and usually was called Benjamin. Elias, inexplicably, adopted the first name Ole. So first names are very malleable in this family, but Lundberg as a surname seems constant over here..
Thanks for response.
Search for Gunwar (or the Furnes variant) Lundberg has been difficult as not many have that name. |

This was the best I could find in Furnes bygdebook. Even Lundby had a farmhand also named Even, who eventually appears to have bought a subfarm named Knipknap and renamed it to Lundberg. This whole page is direct communication from Even Lundby, written in strong dialect and I am not able to follow it all myself.
Since his second wife is named Berte, I suppose it must be the right man.
We are told that they had lots of children and many of them went to America, but no names. |

The Lundberg name for the subfarm may not have stuck. Here is a double page from Furnes bygdebook with a class photo. Three of the children are referred to with the last name Knipknap. Except for the Gønner/Berte mystery, their names match the three medium aged children in the 1891 census.
Better picture resolution here. |

Wowie Zowie!
Assuming Berte Knipknap = Gunwar Lundberg= Bertha Todd, what an amazing thing to find!
Many thanks for this effort!! |

Many thanks! Dialect being the reason for the name Gonner / Gunaar / Gunwar / Gunvor being the same name?
Does Knipknap sound as fanciful in Norwegian as it does in English? It reminds me of a book I read as a youngster: Snipp, Snapp, Snurr.
So I will have to look for additional children, especially girls for the so-called brother in law named in Gonner's passenger list.
So cool!. |

As you know, the idea of a correct spelling is a modern fixation, but yes, I suppose that dialect can further widen the spectrum of available spellings.
And yes, Knipknap doesn't sound like a very respectable name, so no wonder Even changed the farm name as soon as he had the authority to do so.
According to the clipping I posted, Even sold the farm before he died, so these people, cousins meeting at Knipknap/Lundberg in 2003, may be a different family: https://i.postimg.cc/rwyWVkNx/treff.png |

This book comes up in the National Library site for Even Lundberg and Knipknap also:
Bestefarboka : beretning fra livet i østlandsbygda Furnes fra omkring 1860 til omkring 1910
The bestefar is Even Lundby and the book by Sven Erik Lundby. |
