Norwegian records show that Guri Knudsdatter was born 25 Jan 1837 in Vang, Oppland, though her headstone states 28 Jan 1837. She was the fourth of five children born to Knud Eivindsen Østrem and Kari Christophersdatter Heen. Guri and all of her siblings were born on the Østrem farm in Vang. The entire family emigrated to America in 1850, coming first to Wisconsin and then to the Decorah area of Winneshiek county. Her future husband, Endre Gudbrandsen was on the same ship.

Guri married Endre Haugen in about 1857 in Winneshiek county and they had six known children.
