Ingeborg married Ingebret Skarshaug. Ingebret (daughter of Hans Skarshaug and Jorund Gunderson) was born on 14 Feb 1869 in Clayton, Iowa, United States; died in 1954 in Rochester, Olmsted, Minnesota, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

!SO: A-024, A031 (lists name Ingebreth)
A-020-h says he lived near Gunder, Iowa
A-020-V says Ingebret and Gilbert, when grown, farmed on the old Skarshaug
place in Clayton Co., Iowa. Ingebret had electricity on the farm and in
trying to get a motor to run a cream seperator, there was an accident. There
must have been a terrible shock, which Ingebret escaped, but which caused
Ingebret's son, Emory, to lose his leg at the hip. Ingebret later lived much
further east, near Gunder.

NOTES: For now I am leaving the sirname as Gungerson, as preferred by Sammie
Lois Lang, who as I understand it, believes it to be consistant with the
usage in T. K. Loftsgard's Texts on the History of the Area of our
ancestors.
---------
However; Nordahl H. Skarshaug tells me he prefers and is using the
sirname, Korsgarden, for consistency with a Reference Text he is using.
See his FGR A-019 and A-024 for names he lists.
---------
I have made some notes attempting to explain the various reasons for the
different sirnames offered for this family. See Floppy Disk,
II.A.11., Aanestad Ancestry, Sirname.doc.
---------
A-020-M gives same b. date and d. year as A-019.
---------
A-025 list name as Joran (Julia), b. Oct 8, 1848, d. Aug 28, 1882.
A-020-h says that Jorun and Hans Hanson Skarshaug lived at Clermont,
and the family grew up in Clayton Co., Iowa where Gunul Swenson Krosgarn
came from Norway.
---------

Skarshoug). Also lists her Sirname as Korsgaarden, same as for her
