I have been searching for my grandfather, Gustav Selmer Gunderson, for several years. He died when my father was a child, and my father's mother died soon after, leaving no family links to the Gunderson's. I know a little, but not enough to credit or discredit any other information I find. I have Gustav's memorial book from his funeral, and a Mr. & Mrs. Orville Gunderson signed the book. There were two services held at which they could have signed, one in Big Bend, MN and another in Park Rapids, MN. I am hoping the Orville who signed is family. This is what I know for sure about my grandfather Gustav: Gustav Selmer Gunderson, b March 30, 1893 d April 10, 1958. He lived in many parts of MN, Alexandria, Park Rapids, Big Bend, and possibly South or North Dakota. His wives were Marie Golden and Olga Juliet Snelling. Children are Lavon Gunderson and Donald Gunderson, my father. I think Gustav's parents were John and Laura Gunderson, and I think his siblings were Edward Gunderson and Mina Gunderson Anderson. I know he was in the military in 1916. If any of this sounds familiar at all, please contact me. I have info to trade on many surnames, my tree has about 5000 people. Many Thanks kirajc@cox-internet.com -- ____________________________________________________ Ring the bells you still can ring, forget the perfect offering!
