| - Conrad Anderson, from Starlight Shores, shares the same surname as this family. They don't have any similarities, and neither of their biographies mention each other. Thus, it's very unlikely that they are related.
- Charles Ainar Andersen and his wife Loria Pietersson Andersen were Swedish immigrants living in the Danish port city of Alborg during the 1870's, trying to gather both money and their scattered family members to immigrate to America. In 1875, an LDS-chartered passenger ship arrived in port, offering a free berth to New York in return for the passengers to convert to Mormonism. Not very religious individuals, Charles and Loria agreed, and managed to bring along their immediate families on the trip. On arriving at port at New York, they got on the train, first to Provo and then to Boise.
- The Anderson family is a group of professional wrestlers, a fictitious extended family largely consisting of brothers and cousins. It started in the Minnesota area in the late 1960s with a tag team called The Minnesota Wrecking Crew, consisting of "brothers" Lars Anderson and Gene Anderson (the only actual 'Anderson' of the original group). Later versions of the Crew included "brother" Ole Anderson and "cousin" Arn Anderson in various combinations with the original two. In total, the four original Andersons won over 11 different tag team championships together across the country. Several modern tag teams have taken names similar to the Minnesota Wrecking Crew as an homage to the group.

On arriving at port at New York, they got on the train, first to Provo and then to Boise. After arriving in Boise, the LDS gave the Andersens (now Anderson after changing their name during immigration. The Andersens were prominent members of the unpopular antilabor movement in Sundsvall, and many Swedes were heading to the Northwest those days) a land grand near Parma, Idaho, where they settled for a time. However, after news of Lovia filtering through America, the Andersons (led by William) and their immediate families moved to both Sylvania and Oceania to take advantage of even cheaper land.

Several modern tag teams have taken names similar to the Minnesota Wrecking Crew as an homage to the group. In the 1980s, Ole and Arn allied themselves with Ric Flair, a Minnesota native who they claimed was another cousin of the family, and formed the famous wrestling stable The Four Horsemen. The stable was a major influence on professional wrestling in North America, creating the blueprint for future groups such as the New World Order, Triple Threat, and Evolution. Ole, Gene and Arn ran tryout camps for prospective wrestlers in the late 1970s and early 1980s, "stretching" several future stars, including Al Snow. Other wrestlers claiming the Anderson heritage popped up on the independent circuit in the 1990s. These include Pat Anderson, Rocky Anderson, Karl Anderson and C.W. Anderson, who has gone on to moderate fame. Gene Anderson had a son, Brad, who began wrestling in 1988. Ole Anderson had a son who wrestles under the name Bryant Anderson. WWE wrestler Ken Anderson changed his ring name to Ken Kennedy, to avoid confusion with the Anderson family (as well as the former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback of the same name), despite Anderson being his actual last name. Another WWE star was born Steven James Anderson, but his family name changed to Williams when he was adopted by his stepfather in early childhood; he would achieve fame as Stone Cold Steve Austin. He is not related to any member of the kayfabe Anderson family.
