I am looking for information re: Gunnerius Gulbranson (1855-1931). m. Kirsti Walberg (1855-1927). Both were born in Sweden. Their families migrated to Maskell, Ne. The story is that Gunnerius had been in the Swedish army and several men had the same last name so the army named him for the place he was from "Hangstad", hence, "Hangman". I am trying to find info. on both of their parents' names and siblings etc. Thank you.
