Looking for the ancestors of Osmond (Osman/Osmand/Osmund) Knutson, born WI (probably Scandinavia, Waupaca County, WI) about June 1860.
What is known:
From family records and Huntsville, Polk County, MN Federal census records of 1900, 1905, 1910 and 1920, Osmond Knutson, born WI was married to Bergit, born Norway, and had the following children, born in Polk County, MN – Marget (Feb 1892); Knut (Mar. 1893); Ole (July 7, 1894); Andrew (Mar. 1896); Gilbert (May 1898); Henry (May 1900, died Feb. 15, 1975, Polk County, MN); Thelma B. (Abt. Oct. 1902); John Oscar (Abt. Jul. 1904).
The family has no knowledge of Osmond’s parents.
Federal census records of Scandinavia, Waupaca County, WI 1860, 1870 and 1880 list Knut Knutson born in Norway about 1806 and wife Margaret born in Norway about 1828 with a family including Osman, born WI about 1860. The 1860 census lists a family with the oldest child, Bertha, born in Norway aged 2 years and Osman, born WI aged 1 month. Following census records include good collaboration of birth date of Osman.
Book “”From the Indian Land”, Malcolm Rosholt, Krause Publications 1985 lists “(Big) Knut Knutson from Setesdal, Norway and his wife, Margit” as part of the second wave of immigrants to arrive in Scandinavia after 1858. This estimated date of arrival in Scandinavia agrees with the family’s first WI born child, Osman.
Internet searches for vital records of the births of children and death and burial of Knut and Margaret have been unsuccessful.
Are there any birth records of Scandinavia that might confirm Knut and Margaret are the parents of Osman?
Thanks,
John
Fond du Lac, WI
