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.

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".

A brief article in the October 30, 1941, edition of the Manitowoc Herald Times:

Oscar Ellingboe, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, building contractor in the county on business this week recalled the striking differences in ship building now and 80 years ago.

Mr. Ellingboe is a former Gibson resident. He and Mrs. Ellingboe have been visiting with relatives at Two Rivers and at Gibson. His father, Helge, and grandfather, Knud Thompson, cut tall trees from the forests in Two Creeks, sheared off the bark, and delivered them in Milwaukee for use as masts in sailing vessels. Most of these trips were made in small craft.

Mr. Ellingboe recalled that on one of the return trips his father and grandfather were forced to walk from Milwaukee and carried with them a much-needed plow.
