Hofstad Family
We are the Hofstad Family of NW Minnesota and now SW South Dakota. We are decendants of the Hovstad (Hofstad) Family in Aust-Agder, Norway.
Our homestead started in 1904 in Northwest Minnesota. Our ancestors imigrated here and started a farm with grain and livestock. Eventually the culture diversified and some of us tried other means of making a living. But as the saying goes it is hard to take the farm out of the boy!
- The picture to the left was taken during a visit to Norway
- Glenn, Arlan and Jared went to see the "old country" and visit the old Hovstad gård
We hope to continue to learn more about our relatives in southern Norway and wherever the search leads to. We enjoy culture and finding new people or ideas.
