Hi Glen,
 
I can understand Karl wanting to drop the surname, 'Skar', when he came to America but I don't think the Norwegians would have minded it at all. There is/was at least 16 farms named Skar in Norway and a host of others with very similar spelling variations. Some of my own ancestors lived at a farm named Skaar (or Skår) located in Oppland county, north of Oslo.  
 
Regards,
 
Jeff
