Fredrik Andreassen emigrated from Trondheim to America 12 July 1905. His last name was Gaasvand, as he lived on that farm in Rindal where he was born in 1856.
The rest of the family emigrated the year after, 22 August 1906. They were wife Sara Johansdatter Garberg born 1869 in Meldal, and children Johanne (1891), Marit (1893), Marie (1895) and Johanne (1900).

Is there anyone that could help me find information about these people in America ?

There is an obituary for Allen Garberg. However it seems to involve a fee.
