#18 - Gunnuld Paulsen of Kittilsrud (1801-1875)

Ed's Day Wednesday

Dear FOLKS,

Today I am pleased to be introducing you to another person on my late cousin, Edwin Ostrom's ancestor chart. Our person of interest is Gunnuld Paulson, the next person on Ed's family chart. For a review of cousin Ed's genealogy, click here.

It also pleases me to share this story as Gunnuld Paulsen is an ancestor that cousin Ed and I share. Gunnuld would never venture very far from where he was born. Throughout his life, he farmed in the Lunde, Telemark, Norway area. But let's look into some of the details.

Gunnuld Paulsen (1801-1875).  Gunnuld was Ed's 2x great-grandfather, one his father's great-grandfathers and he was my 3x great-grandfather through my father. Gunnuld was #18 on Ed's Ancestor Name List and he married #19 Gunnild Johnsdatter in 1839. The Name List is included in the article mentioned earlier, click here to return to that article.

small for the congregation. Built on the footprint of the
older church. Photo by Ed Ostrom, taken in 2008.
