According to the online emigrationrecords on "Digitalarkivet",
Ole Nicoalysen (Gangestad) with his family, emigrated on May 17th 1872 with the ship "Hero"

Their destination was "Fort Dogde" which I assume is in Iowa.
In 1880 the family is found in Humbolt county in Iowa.
But I am wondering about two things:
1. Where exactly is/was "Fort Dogde"?
2. When did the family arrive in NY?
I have found that the corrosponding ships with Hero ( according to the depaturedate is:
/forum/also-jumped-ship-ended-up-ny/
and last but not least. Where did they "go" after 1880? I think I might have found Ole and Inger ( the parents) in Howard county, but I have not access to the censusmaterial, so I cannot be sure.
