She was in America now and anglicized everybody's name: ------- She became NELLIE or CAMILLA * Ragnhild became Rachel Aanestad ** Aasse became Anna -- married Paul Ellings Jorund became Julia -- married Skarshaug Knut Gunderson (she couldn't change that very much) Sven -- the oldest was Samuel * Her marriage license reads `Camille Svenson and John Lang' ** Except for Rachel Gunderson Korsgaard, the children all took the name GUNDERSON." ------- Gunhilde spoke both Norwegian and Engish and probable understood German as well since her husband, John spoke German/Swiss. ------------ A-020-h says that John and Gunhild Lang lived at Le Mars, Iowa. ------------ A-031 states that she had three children.
