Still another "Krogstad" in the US could be the son of Ole Andersen and Else Christophersdatter.
It is the Andrew Krogstad from Drammen found in a document about early norwegian settlements in Lincoln County, Oregon (Carla found this early under this topic) where it says " The founder of the Norwegian settlement at Toledo was Otto O. Krogstad from Drammen. He came from Walsh Co., N. D. and settled there as a pharmacist in 1894. Later in the year came Hans O. Olsen†, P. Tellefsen and T. Tellefsen, all from Stavanger, Carl Knudsen from Christiansand, Andreas Krogstad from Drammen, O. E. Rache from Sogn, Henrik Tronsen from Bergen and Anton Bredesen, born in Wisconsin.
Ole and Else oldest son Andreas (Andrew) emigrated in 1860, possibly with the Helvetia that sailed from Drammen May 10 and reached Quebec June 11 1860. His whereabouts between 1860 and 1894 is uknown to me, but a map showing settlements i Sterling township, Brookings County SD shows Andrew Olson with settlement close to the settlement belonging to Ole Anderson Krogstad (son and father?)
Can anyone find a proof? |
