Surnames: Killingstad, Kyllingstad
My great-grandfather was Carl Hendrick Killingstad b. 1865 from Norway … can’t remember the town, have the papers at home…. Sigdal possibly. I have some papers for him coming through Ellis Island in 1903 but those say that he was already a citizen, so that’s all I know. He came to Detroit Lakes, MN and built a house in about 1906 and got married to Theoline Mathilda Mathias, who’s mother was a Severson. She was quite a bit younger than him. She was born in 1887. I have no idea where she was from either, but my aunt and grandma think Montana possibly. These two had several kids… like 12 or more. Some, I know have died. One was hit by a train at a young age during the depression. One child was a "Clara" but wasn't born until sometime in the 1910-1920 era. I know that some spell it Kyllingstad as well . I would like more history on this as well, but I believe that the Killingstad name comes from a farm that I found in Norway.

Carl could possibly be a brother to this Clara. I would really like to know.
