My great great Grandfather was Gunlek A Bergland, He was from Norway and it is my understanding that he took his name from the name of the town of burg he was from as it was not the custom to have a last name. He came to Wisconsin and ended up walking to northern Michigan and went on to become a lumber baron and was the founder of the town of Bergland, Michigan.
