Duane, do you know where in Norway he was from??There is a small town in north Norway named Tråstad.My husband's grandfather came from there.It is up by Harstad and approx 20 miles west on the Kjvæfjord fjord.It is the most beautiful place on this earth!!!!
There was a warrior named Tråstad that fought with his men in approx 1600 at Kongsvonger to protect the King at the fortress there.A shield with the name on it is in the museum there.
There are very few Trostad's in America, so I always am interested how people came by the name.My husband's grandfather came in 1906 with his father to Bellingham, WA to fish in Alaska.Great Grandpa returned to Norway and grandpa stayed.He was the only one of 12 children to come to America.The family name in Norway was Pedersen.
Thanks for responding to my query and I would like to hear more from you.
