  Notes	The JCC record (copy in Manitowoc public library) says that Knud Sandness died on 8 April 1895 and was born on 22 June 1829. Knud's brother Tosten had immigrated in 1849, via Wisconsin, to Decorah, Iowa. That Tosten was the father of Anne Sandness (#4574). The Thompson (Sandness) family emigrated in 1852 via Quebec. On steamship Atlantic when it sank in Lake Erie. They survived the sinking of the steamship Atlantic in Lake Erie on their way to Wisconsin. In 1852, Knud Thompson (Sandness) (1829-1929) and Anne Torgeirsdatter Strande (1819-1889) arrived in Wisconsin with two children. Five more children were born to them in Wisconsin. Lived in Two Rivers Twp in 1855. Worked for Two Rivers Tannery in 1856. He was farming in Gibson Twp by 1870. Knud Thompson served in the Civil War. Enlisted as private in Co. H, 22nd Wisconsin Infantry during Civil War, 5/01/1865 to 17/05/65. Transferred to 3rd Regiment. His surname was listed as Windingstad or Vindingstad in Church Book records. His birth and christening records are found in Slidre Kirkebok No. 2, p. 329, Births, and on microfilm reel of Ø. Slidre Kirkebok, p. 336, reel # 0125644. His vaccination record is found in Slidre Kirkebok No. 4, p. 186, Vaccinations, #81, 6 Dec. 1843. His confirmation record is in Slidre Kirkebok No. 4 (Hegge, Rogne, Volbu), 1831-1848, p. 115, Confirmations,#37, 27 July 1845. Marriage record is in Ø. Slidre Kirkebok No. 1 (1849-1874), p. 171, Marriages. Emigration date of 1 April 1852 listed in Ø. Slidre Kirkebok No. 1, p. 241, #43), with wife Anne Torgersd. (#44), daughter Ingeborg (#45) and son Thomas (#46). Name on emigration record is Knud Thomassen Vindingstad. (Statsarkivet, Hamar) Jim Ellingboe says: The Thompson (Sandness) family came from the adjoining {to Vang i Valdres} county of East Slidre. Last year I visited the ruins of the house on the farm Sannes (Sandness) on Windingstad where they lived in before leaving Norway. Named Knut Sandness in burial record. Knud and Anne are buried in the Jambo Creek Cemetery. There is some confusion regarding the inscription on the gravestone of both Knud and Anne Thompson. "HUSTRUTIL " means "wife of". A separate entry for Anne based on Jambo Creek Church records is mistakenly read as 7 Dec. 1889, whereas it should be 1 Dec. 1889 and the age should be 71, not 78. This is the same as the information on the stone, i.e., not a separate person. Knud is listed in the Jambo Creek Church burial records as "Knud Sandness".
