I am looking for anyone with knowledge of a Gul Thompson who lived in the Albert Lee Minn area before the turn of the century. He was the brother of Ambjorg Guttormsdatter Grov ( my great great grandmother) and the son of Gutorm Haraldsen Nord-Grov and Live Gudbrandsdatter. Gul was born in 1822 and came to the US in 1849 according to the Valdres Bygdebok for Sor Aurdal. He probably changed his name from Guttormsen to Thompson when he came to the US. I am going by my family history written by a great aunt who may have thought Thompson when it was really Guttormsen and time diminished her recollection. Also, according to the family history, another brother and sister were living near Gul. I do not have the names, but they might have been Live and Gudbrand as they were the next oldest after Ambjorg and before Gul. The sister lived in Hartland and had been married. I do not know if she had children. Gul had one son who married and had two sons according to the family history. Barry N.
