A few interesting things about this census.
Her name is misspelled as Karon instead of Karen.
She’s using the Lund last name instead of Funk.
Karen was living alone in a house in Plain City.
She never did end up naturalizing.
She is listed as having had 6 children with 4 still living. I have 7 children’s names (although only 4 would be living in 1900).
If you remember from the 1920 Census for the Mathias Lund Family, I found a new relative…Lloyd Lund. At the time (Jan 1920) he was 1 2/12 years old and listed as “Son”. I believe him to be the son of either Sadie or Clyde (so Mathias’ grandson). Both were listed as single, so perhaps he was born out of wedlock. Here’s what I did and what I found.
1. First, I looked for Sadie and Clyde Lund (Mathias’ daughters) in the 1930 Census, on Ancestry. I found them listed as “sister” to Heber C Lund, Mathias’ son. So far that all makes sense. They were living in Farr West, Utah which is only a few miles from Plain City. But where is Lloyd?

2. Then I thought I might as well look for Lloyd Lund in the 1930 census, again on Ancestry.I found two…Lloyd W. and Lloyd H. So which, if either, is my Lloyd? Lloyd W. was in Plain City while Lloyd H. was in Salt Lake. Plain City makes more sense, but Salt Lake might work just as well.
Lloyd H. was living with the Thomas Lund Family and listed as son. While his age (10 yrs) made sense I wasn’t sure he was the right one…was he maybe adopted by relatives? I hadn’t come across Thomas and Clara Lund yet…how (if at all) are they related to Mathias and Pauline?

Lloyd W. was living with the England family and listed as nephew along with some other notes that I couldn’t read. Also, off to the side it says to see Line 119, which is for the Ralph and Amy Robson family. Not sure who they are either.

I don’t know who Lloyd Lund is. He is listed as being 1 2/12, so he was born around Oct/Nov 1918. I don’t believe he is Pauline’s son because she would have been almost 64 years old when he was born – not very likely his mom! he may be the son of either Sadie or Clyde, so Mathias and Pauline’s grandson. I’ll have to investigate this more. I don’t have a Lloyd Lund in my database right now – mostly from other family research. I think I’ll start by looking for Clyde and Sadie in the 1930 census (Mathias and Pauline both pass away before then). Perhaps Lloyd is listed with one of them…as their son. Or, I could look for Lloyd’s birth certificate. Because he was born after 1911, his records aren’t digitized at the Utah State Archives. I would have to go to the county (I assume Weber County, where Plain City is) and order it for $18. I think I’ll check the census’ first. Any other ideas?
Also, I’d like to find Farm Schedule #16 which should list more details about the Lund Farm. I’d also like to know what the “000” means – listed after Mathias’ Line. Many of the other “heads” have a “000” but some have other numbers. I wonder what they mean…not sure where to find the answer to that one. I’ll have to find an expert.
Moving forward in time, let’s check in on the Mathias Lund family in 1910.
Mathias and Pauline are still in Plain City and have 5 of their 10 children living with them. Their oldest four must have married and moved on (?) and their other son died young. I did find his name in newFamilySearch but need to find sources to support it. I may need to make a trip to the Family History Library…I’ll post more details when I find them.

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!
