I was reading through a family history book this a.m. I had flipped through it before but didn't pay any attention. Well I learned that after coming to the U.S from Norway my Great great Grandpa first homesteaded in Iowa where some of my great Grandpa's siblings were born. He was born in Minnesota and eventually moved north to Saskatchewan where my family has put down it's roots since. I guess I have a bit more in common with some of you Iowa Whitetail junkies now.

I thought you were trying to figure out a way to get a landowner or resident tag??

Just kidding.
Small world huh!
 
That's pretty cool. Just happen to have the phone book next to me......11 or 12 Gunderson's in the Cedar Rapids area. How popular is the name in your area?
 
My family is from Norway as well and they settled in NE Iowa. There are several Norwegian communities in the area and one is named Gunder; "Home of the One Pound Hamburger."
 
Kaare,
That explains why you are drawn to this site...doesn't have anything to do with your addiction to whitetails...

There is little that compare to the Gunder Burger or the St. Olaf tenderloin...

GUNDERBURGER..............................YUMMMMMMMMMMMMY

My oldest kid owns the undocumented record of inhaling a Gunderburger in 1:30. I'm glad I wasn't there.......

My family came over from Norway in 1848. Stayed in the Dechora(never could splee that word) area awhile and homesteaded in Dunn County WS. My Great(Add appropriate number of greats here)grandfater was supposedly the first non indian born in Dunn County. They were around Sand Creek.

FWIW and it ain't much

CRITR, where I grew up there were 5 or 6 families of Gunderson's, all from the same family. Where I live now there is one, mine. It is virtually unheard of in Saskatchewan.
