I am looking for descendants of Gertrude Asbjeld and her daughter Gertrude Stokke. They originally lived in Trondhjem. Gertudes's husband was Ludwig and her children were named Astrid and Lars. |

You didn't provide too much information, so maybe we can get started with Gertrude Stokke. The 1920 US census for North Dakota, has a widow named Gertrude and her children. She is from Norway and immigrated in 1891. Do you think this is the right person?

Census-1910 for McHenry, North Dakota shows these people:
Andrew Stokke, b 1861
Gertie Stokke, b 1873
Gustav Stokke, b 1898
Elmer Stokke, b 1901
Adolph Stokke, b 1903
Thelma Stokke, b 1904
Bertha Stokke, b 1905
Iver Stokke, b 1906
Gina Stokke, b 1908
Dominie Stokke, b 1910
A possibility for Gertrude Stokke's husband:
Andreas Stokke (26) from Inderøy, Nord-Trøndelag, emigrating to St. Thomas, Dakota on 13-Mar-1889.
Btw; what sources do you have for the first Gertrude being named "Asbjeld"? That is a farmname, and could come from the Aspjeld farm in Orkdal, Sør-Trøndelag. But it could be her married name.
Did Gertrude Asbjeld also emigrate?
Gertrude Stokke is listed as immigrated in 1891, according to the 1920-census.

Gertrude Steppe(Stokke) can be found in the 1930 North Dakota Census also, age 38(should be 58) She appears as head of household, with Adolph, Bert, Iver, and Edwin. A daughter in-law (which I think is Adolph's wife) and granddaughter are listed.
The immigraion year for Gertrude, this census, is given as 1900. Probably incorrect.
I have not been able to find them in the 1900 ND census, or the South Dakota censuses.
There is also a Stokke farm in Sør Trøndelag, Strinden.
