[#38773] Eidsvold, Andreas Andersen b. abt. 1832 Kroken, Vestenga Haugen.

[Gjest Mary Ellen Peterson]

I am looking for any information on my great-grandfather, Andreas Andersen b. 1830-35, Kroken, Vestenga Haugen, Eidsvold He took the surname Berger and worked on the Berger farm or factory. He married Ragnhild Marie Kristoffersdtr., f. 1832 Sørenstua, plass under Negarn Hjera. I have information on her and they are in the 1865 census. I also have found them leaving for America, but I have no information on Andreas' family. It was said that he had a half-brother, Anton Anderson and half-sister, Maren Andersdtr. b. abt. 1858. who both immigrated to La Crosse, WI. He may have had brothers Ole Andersen b. June 1847 and Peter Andersen b. Feb. 1858 who also immigated to La Crosse, WI. Thank you kindly for any help.
