  Notes	Shown as Erik Ingebrigtsen, the Husfader of the Gustad domicile in Kvernes in the 1865 census. His year of birth is shown as 1830, from Næssæt. The November, 1829, date comes from the parish birth record for Rød, Nesset which also shows a farm name of Flaahammer (as does the record for his marriage to Ane). Erik is shown as the owner (”Gaardbruger Selveier”) of the farm (on 216, Gustad) in the 1865 census. However, in the 1886 land register, H. Iversen is listed as the “land owner or user” of the holding (16-6, old 127-216a) on Gulstad (”commonly written Gustad”) in Kvernes. This suggests that primogeniture prevailed and that Halvor inherited the farm after his father perished. Perhaps Erik and/or Ane held the property in trust until Halvor reached majority. This possibility may be consistent with the 1891 census in which Erik is called “Føderådsmand og bruger.” Erik Ingebrigtsen Gustad of Kvernes, age 65 and born 1829 and a farmer, emigrated from Kristiansund on 2 August 1894 aboard a Dominion liner, bound for Minnesota. Accompanying him were his 65 year-old wife, Anne, his 41 year-old son, a laborer, Halvor, 24 year-old Lise Gustad, an unmarried maid, and 23 year-old Petrine Gustad, an unmarried maid. Five Gustads arrived in Quebec (Quebec City or Montreal) in August of 1894 aboard the S.S. Vancouver which had sailed from Liverpool. The destination of all five was “Aitken, Minnesota.” The five were: E. Gustad, a 65 year-old male, A. Gustad, a 65 year-old female, “wife”, H. Gustad, a 41 year-old male laborer, L. Gustad, a 24 year-old female “servant”, and P. Gustad, a 28 year-old female “servant.” According to his death certificate, the informant was Dr. Sewall of Crosby, the doctor who treated him. Sewall indicated that Erik died of old age.
