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.
---------
A-024 lists name as Joraand Swenson (Korsgarden) alias Jane G. Swenson.
A-031 lists the name as Jane G. Swenson, wife of Hans Hanson (Hans
Skarshoug). Also lists her Sirname as Korsgaarden, same as for her
