LARSEN, LUNDE posted by Gunnar Lindaas on Monday, March 22, 1999

His name is Laurits Larsen Lunde (last name used could be a combination of the two or most likely only Lunde). Lunde is the farm name in Suldal, Norway where his family settled before he emigrated. He was born 28 July 1867 in Vikedal in Ryfylke, Norway. He died after 1937 (most likely in Canada, see below). He left Suldal (emigrated) in april 1883. The first place he came to/settled at was Elraeye?/Elroy? in Wisconsin. He also lived in Hanlye Sask?. He married in Grand Forks North Dakota. He lived in Hankinson North Dakota around 1894/95. He divorced and moved to Canada, first to Dawson Creek in British Columbia and later to Sunset Prairie, BC, where he lived around 1937. I think his first wife was named Inga Paulson? (or Mathisen). Should like to have some info about her. Children of Laurits (two of which is from the first marriage): 1. Martha Margaret Lunde, born 28 January 1889 Grand Forks North Dakota?, died 2 November 1980 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was married 21 March 1910 to Arthur Olaf Olson in Fergus Falls Minnesota. 2. Theresa Malmwana Lunde, born 24 January 1892, died 1 July 1978 in Pacipe Grove, California, She was married to Benjamin Edward Carleton. 3. Maria (Anna Marie?)......She lived in Canada with her father in the late 1930's (Sunset Prairie?)......? . Maria had a uncle called Kingland, which then most likely must be on her mothers side. Here is some of the questions I would like to have some more info on: Who was his first wife, name and where from? When and where did they marry?? Who was his second wife?? When and where did Laurits die? When and where was his third daughter born? Did she marry (Rudyquist??) or had she any family?? Appreciate any help that I can get. Gunnar glindaas@online.no

APPLEBEE posted by Jennifer Braun on Saturday, March 27, 1999

I was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota in 1967. I lived in the state until I was seven-years old. I would very much like to be in contact with the state of my birth. What is going on in Grand Forks? I currently reside fifty miles north of San Francisco, California. I lived on a street called Fenton Avenue in Grand Forks in a house located next door to a Mrs. Linfoot. I believe she is living in Florida now but she seemed to be from a rather important North Dakota family. I would appreciate any information about Grand Forks that you may give me. It's only been recently, when I traveled for the first time on Amtrak, that I saw that the train has a route through Grand Forks. I am very interested in visiting my home state. I'm very proud of it. Sincerely, Jennifer L. Braun (Applebee)
