Also living with them on Tønsager was their grandaughter Anne Marie Mikalsdatter, 2, who was Albertine’s daughter, and the family of Erik Olson, 47, jordarbejder, and his wife Gurine Gudbrandsdatter, 48, who may have been Anne Marte’s sister. Everyone had been born in Ejdsvold. Gilbert Paulson, 68, and his wife Marth, 64, were in New Market Twp in the 1880 census. Living with them were ther sons Andrew Gilbertson, 25, and Martin Gilbertson, 23. One farm away was their son Louis Gilbertson, 36, Louis’s wife Carry, 24, and their two sons Georg, 2, and Otto, 1. In the 1885 Minnesota state census, he is in New Market Twp. The household consists of Gilbert Pollsen, 75, born in Norway, Mary Pollsen, 65, born in Norway, and Andrew Tonsager, 38, born in Norway. Geneva Knutsen says “Gilbert Tonsager brought his family from Norway to America (first stopping in Canada) in 1868.” (Ancestry.com family database) He is probably the Gilbert Tonsager whose death was announced in the December 27, 1894, edition of the Scott County Argus, p. 4, column 3.
