The record shows that Andrew spent some time in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and that he and his brother Severin had a grocery store there. Severin never related this fact that Andrew was there with him but the records in the Saint Paul city directories show that Andrew was part of this store operation.
Andrew left Saint Paul and went to Seattle where he had a "knut" which is a fishing boat, so he fished for a while up there.
He was up in Alaska in the goldrush. He was a teamster. On his way back to the States he stopped in Duluth with the family and gave the boys -- Sigurd, Storm, Rolf -- each a gold watch. He might have given a gift to Alfild, and most likely did, but that's not known. He went back to Norway to visit and stayed there. He was to come back to the States but he didn't.

The Rovde Saga states "Andreas kjøpte nedlagd handelsstad på Knardal og bygde kai ha[n]delsbud i 1906 (Brn.2) Han var i Amerika 1888-1903, dreiv gullgraving laksefisk og jernbanearbeid i Minnesota. Han bejgynde med handel og expedisjon an rutebåtar bygd stove i 1918, dreiv handel til 1931" which translates "Andreas bought a vacated business at Knardal and built a pier and country store in 1906 (at farm unit # 2). He was in America from 1888 to 1903, went to the gold diggings, did salmon fishing [in Alaska] and then did railroad work in Minnesota. He began a business and also handled the business of a coastal steamer, built a cottage in 1918, was in business until 1931."
