I already posted this Census as part of my investigation into Lloyd Lund, but I thought I better post the transcription too.

A few interesting things:
Heber’s parents are listed as being born in Utah, but I know that his father Mathias was born in Denmark and his mother Pauline was born in Sweden. (they are also Sadie and Clide’s parents) This is a good example of being cautious of information on any of these records.
According to DollarTimes, $1,000.00 in 1930 had the same buying power as $12,742.97 in 2011. (Annual inflation over this period was 3.19%). Not sure I believe that because even if Heber’s farm property in Plain City was only 1 acre, it would be worth at least $50,000 but most likely up to about $100,000.
I wonder which department store the girls (Clide and Sadie) worked at. They must have gone into Ogden because there’s no Department store in Plain City.
Let’s take a look at the 1870 census for Hans and Bertha. Remember, that by the 1880 census Bertha is married to Hans’ younger brother Willard. Unfortunately, this census gives us little information.

Page No. 8, Plain City, Weber, Utah, 18 Jun 1870 Lines 35-37. Dwelling #58, Family #58.
Line 35. Funck, H P, 26, M, W, farmer, pob: Denmark, father of foreign birth, mother of foreign birth. Line 36. —–, Bertha A, 22, F, W, keeping house, pob: Norway, father of foreign birth, mother of foreign birth. Line 37. —–, Anna, 2/12, F, W, pob: Utah, father of foreign birth, mother of foreign birth, born in Apr 1870.
Items of note:
Using the last name Funck.
We now know that Anna (Annie) was born in April of 1870.
I have Hans’ death date as 26 Sep 1872, from a family group record for his father Diderich from the new Family Search. I wonder what he died of at such a young age (28 years old). That same family group record lists the marriage between Willard and Bertha as 1868…when Hans was still alive, and Willard would have been 10 years old! I think someone looked at Anna’s age and assumed that Willard and Bertha married before the baby was born. I think 1868 might be when Hans and Bertha were married. So now I wonder when Willard and Bertha were married. By 1880 they had two children young Willard (2) and George (2 mo). So perhaps sometime around 1877-8? Maybe the 1868 on the family group record was a typo for 1878. These are all questions yet to be answered.

Three families on one page! This was a very interesting census and raised a lot of questions. Let’s get to it.
1880 U.S. Census, Plain City, Weber, Utah, population schedule, Plain City Precinct, enumeration district (ED) 100, page 10, dwelling 68, family 68, Willard Lund Family; digital images, Ancestry (Ancestry.com : downloaded 30 August 2011); Census Index provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Transcription: Lines 1-3. Dwelling #63, Family #63. Line 1. Lund, Lewis, W, M, 26, married, farmer, 6 mo. unemployed, pob: Denmark, father pob: Denmark, mother pob: Denmark. Line 2. —–. Minnie, W, F, 19, Wife, married, Strand Hat Maker, pob: Utah, father pob: Denmark, mother pob: Denmark. Line 3. —–, Lewis, W, M, 1, Son, sick with measles, pob: Utah, father pob: Denmark, mother pob: Utah.
Cute young couple with a young son, who was unfortunately sick with the measles on the day of enumeration. I wonder what exactly a Strand Hat Maker is? At least I think it said Strand.
Lines 5-7. Dwelling #64, Family #64. Line 5. Lund, Didrick, W, M, 60, married, Farmer, 8 mo. unemployed, pob: Denmark, father pob: Denmark, mother pob: Denmark. Line 6. —–, Catherine, W, F, 60, Wife, married, keeping house, pob: Denmark, father pob: Denmark, mother pob: Denmark. Line 7. Jacobson, Hanse, W, M, 19, Nephew, Single, Boarder, 9 mo. unemployed, pob: Denmark, father pob: Denmark, mother pob: Denmark.
This is the first time I’ve seen the name Hanse Jacobson. He’s listed as a nephew, so I wonder who’s child he is…sibling of Didrick or Catherine (Karen). Interesting that Didrick is now using the last name name Lund.
Lines 25-29. Dwelling #68, Family #68. Line 25. Lund, Willard, W, M, 21, married, farmer, 6 mo. unemployed, cannot write, pob: Denmark, father pob: Denmark, mother pob: Denmark. Line 26. —–, Bertie, W, F, 31, Wife, married, keeping house, pob: Norway, father pob: Norway, mother pob: Norway. Line 27. —–, Annie, W, F, 10, Daughter, at school, pob: Utah, father pob: Denmark, mother pob: Norway. Line 28. —–, Willard, W, M, 2, Son, pob: Utah, father pob: Denmark, mother pob: Norway. Line 29. —–, George, W, M, 4/12, born in Feb 1880, Son, pob: Utah, father pob: Denmark, mother pob: Norway.
Now this is where it gets really interesting! Willard is 21 and married to Bertie (Bertha) who is 31. Quite an age difference. Then, Annie, their “daughter” is 10 years old…making Willard 11 years old when she was born. I doubt that he’s her biological father. So now I wonder, who was Bertie’s first husband? I did some digging and found that her first husband was Hans Peter Funk Lund – that’s right – Willard’s older brother! So Annie is really Willard’s niece and Bertie’s daughter. Young Willard and George are Annie’s brother-cousins! Awkward! I will definitely be looking into this some more.
Why, its the study of the Lund's, of course! I am jumping in to researching our family history and seeing where it takes me. We are the Lund's. We come from Lund's, Ranson's, DeMacedo's, Lima's, Anderson's, Warner's, Ferreira's, Da Silva's and beyond! Since my own side of the family is from Brazil, it is quite difficult to track things down. Troy's side, on the other hand, has proven to be much easier. So, I'll be jumping back and forth and all around to learn about where we come from.
Are you related to us? I'd love to learn more about you and share what I know about our common ancestors!
