In the space of a few years during the 1850s an avalanche of Norwegian migrants descended on Kiberg. They were attracted by the good fishing grounds in Varanger and the farming potential. Migrants came from several areas of the country, but in the main from Troms. The first of the Hundseth family came from Nord-Trøndelag. Carpenter Jakob Hundseth had his wife and children with him when he came to the fishing village in 1865. Ten years later he was followed by two brothers. Martin Hundseth was the youngest and set himself up in due course as a merchant in Ytre-Kiberg. He set up Hundsethgården and later became the village spokesman. The 1875 census shows that Martin and his wife Gurine had ten people in their household, and they had two cows and four sheep in the barn. They had four sons who contributed to the development of the merchant business. Johannes eventually took over his childhood home and father’s business, at the same time enlarging this with a bakery. At the beginning of the twentieth century there were 20 people affiliated to the premises, including a shoemaker, a washerwoman and fishermen who rented rooms. The bakery was in full operation until about 1950. The daughter Gerda ran the shop for many years and after the Second World War she and her sister Mally lived in the main house until the 1980s. The site still belongs to the family.
