    "My grandmother assumed quite a few different names, I guess
    trying to ignore her Norwegian background" and "was quite
    typical of immegrants; she wished to forget her background in the `old
    country'. 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."

    German as well since her husband, John spoke German/Swiss.
