Hei Oddbjørn!
In the 1910 Murray Co, Lime Lake, MN census I found the following:
Charles Knutson age 39, immigrated 1893 and wife Mary age 36, immigrated 1896.
They have 3 children, Conrad age 10, Leonard age 7 and Alma age 4.
I don't find any other family that comes close to "your" family in Murray County, town of Slayton in the 1910 census.
I'll look in the 1920 census.
mvh Patty

Hei igjen!
All 3 children were born in Iowa....so this family just moved to Minnesota some time after 1906 (based on Alma's age in 1910)...
I did not find the family in the 1920 MN census.

Hei Margit og Oddbjørn!
I just tried to make this entry...it did not "take"...Jeg skal prøve igjen!
Thanks for your input Margit!
It looks like this is the right family, especially considering Marie/Mary's birthdate given on the passport applicatin of Charles Knudson (Knutson) in 1919.

Hei Margit and Oddbjørn!
Margit, did you find one Conrad Knutson, age 18 in 1920, born in Iowa and living with an Edward Anderson in Hennepin, MN? Can you read his relationship to Edward?
His age seems to be a bit off from the "real" Conrad who is the son of Charles/Karl.
