From the Harvey Sathre Estate - "On the Banks of the Root River":
Rognald Knutsen Stondal 1817-1884, the father of Martin Stondahl, was born on the Stondal gard, Vangen parish, Aurland, Sogn province, Norway, a son of Knut Knutsen born Naesbo Stundal (1779-1825) and Kari Rognaldsdatter Bjelde Stundal (b.1784). Kari Rognaldsdatter emigrated in 1846 with the unmarried son, Rognald, and the daughter, Anna Knutsdtr. Stondal Belle, her husband, Knut Knutsen Belle and children. The families first settled at Koshkonong, Dane Co., Wis. In 1854 they came to the Root River Settlement, Minnesota Territory, which would later be the townships of Holt, Carrolton and Arendahl, rural Lanesboro, Fillmore County. The Stondal homestead of 160 acres would border Carrolton twp. on the north in Arendahl township. The family name would change slightly to "Stondahl." A variation of the name, "Stundahl," may also be found in the U.S.A.
In the 1870 census Rognald was listed as "Rennell Knudtson" and his wife, Kari, as "Caroline." Rognald was married 3 times. His first two wives were buried in the Root River Cemetery (also called the "Bell Cemetery" - the land for the cemetery given by the pioneer Belle family of the adjoining farm). Rognald Stondal and his third wife were buried in the North Prairie Lutheran Church Cemetery, Arendahl township.
