I've been trying to find my grandfather's parents for quite some time and finally found them in the 1910 census. They arrived in 1909 and returned to Norway sometime in the following few years. The 1910 census lists them as Charles, Caroline, Judie, Lorin, and Harry. Harry is two months old which makes him the age my grandfather Harold Norman Krogstad (Sr) would have been at that time. I checked with Ellis Island and find coming in the previous August the following individuals: Karen, Hjordis and Lars. Karen was 10 years younger than the census said, and Hjordis was about the right age for Judie, and Lars about the right age for Loren. I think these are my great-grandmother and her son and daughter, but I don't see any reference to Charles. If this is them, the ship they came in on is the C.F. Tietgen. Charles' occupation was noted as ship carpenter dry docks. A Google search found a Tietjen dry dock in Hoboken about the right time. I am curious to see if they are related. Perhaps my great-grandfather was a crew member and thus didn't go through customs as did my great-grandmother and their children. Anyway, the purpose of this email is the hope that descendants of Hjordis and Lars Krogstad, whose parents took them to the United States in 1909 and returned a few years later, might see this and contact me.
