There was a Bjustad family living in King Township, Polk Co., MN in 1910 -
This Gunvor is the same age as your Lawrence Knutson. It might be worth
contacting the local recorders office to see if there were some Bjustad
deaths after 1910 - it may have resulted in an adoption, and change of name
for your Lawrence. Good luck
