The Kolstad farms and families appear often in early Valdres records
(see Valdres Soga 49, 105, 205).

Ingeborg and Anders emigrated to Goodhue County, Minnesota, where
they bought a farm near the town of Kenyon, and lived there the rest of
their lives.

All their children were christened at Holden Church. Their baby son Anders
C. Kolstad is buried in Urland Cemetery in Sogn, Goodhue County, Minnesota.

*After investigating this matter further - it appears that there are no grave stones
for Isabel and Anders at the Holden Cemetery in Kenyon, MN.
They do not appear in church records any longer.

from the Holden Cemetery.
