Being usually interested in adding to the info. I have of my family tree, I figured I'd throw out some names here in case there is any body else that checks out these forums that recognizes the names, or are possibly even related. Going a couple generations back I have the family names Opheim (also spelled Oppheim), Kvamme, Lothe, & Nelson. Nelson's a very common name I know, the Nelson branch here though does not go far back, because the man was literally Nel's son & if he hadn't changed his surname it would've been Blihovde. I think I would find any Blihovde info more interesting then Nelson, but if somebody else thinks we share the same Nelson family in our trees, I'd try to provide any missing info for them. I think I have more information on Op(p)heim & Kvamme then Lothe, so would really appreciate any & all info on that name in particular (I believe the Lothe farm was somewhere in the Hardanger area, if that helps), & of course am willing to share info with any distant Opheim or Kvamme relatives out there. Going back another generation I have the family names Aanonson, Berge, Hage, & Olson (also a very common name I know, this one was a "Mathias" & an only child, as far as I know). Yet another generation back I have a the family names Bagstad, & Bolstad among others I don't know of at the moment. I did come across the Bolstad thread while I was looking a little around the forums for anything that rang a bell in my mind, but apparently that family went to Australia & New Zealand area of the world & I don't know of or see any connection to them (yet, at least).
Siden jeg er vanligvis interesert i å fine mere ut om min familie, og slektshistorie, jeg lister her noen navner i tilfelle noen andre ut der leser disse sidene, kjenner igjen noen av navnene, & kanskje er til og med i slekt med meg. (Vil gjerne se eller høre noe fra deg hvis du tror du er.) Ser særlig etter informasjon om familiene Lothe (fra Hardanger), Blihovde, Berge, Hage, Bagstad, og Bolstad. Men hvis noen har mer informasjon om Op(p)heim eller Kvamme eller vet noe om de andre nevnet i amerikanske teksten, er jeg også interesert, & hvis noen letter etter mer informasjon om Op(p)heim eller Kvamme familiene (fra Voss), eller noen av de andre for den saken, skal jeg prøve å hjelpe de.
& if there is a "Cecil Berg" out there that's been working on family trees, I would really appreciate it if you contacted me, the first time I tried to contact you was about four years ago, & I have still not been able to do it

| WHO is it that you are looking for from the Lothe farm? Please include available vital dates (like birth, marriage death) as available to you. |

don't really have any dates to go on, besides that my grandmother was born December 13, 1921, as far as I know, she was named Anna, but there are so many Anna's in my family tree, I don't really regard that as helpful, but then again, maybe it is...
Anna Lothe (married & took the name Kvamme), & an older brother (by 7 years possibly) named Olav, the children of a Sjur O. Lothe married to a Brita Graue (spelling very uncertain), who might've had a sister named Guri & that's about as far back as I have it traced at the moment... |

My Grandmother was a Kvamme and married a Kjonegaard and came to America in 1880.

thank-you very much, Hopkins, for those links, & the info
I realize that to get more specific answers, I should ask more specific questions, & I'll do that if I get stumped on something in particular, but for now I'm just exploring at my own pace, in my own way, & like I said, I'm throwing those names out there in case there are people exploring similar areas, know a lot about these families &/or are possibly even related
& rkjone01, I think there's a good chance that we're related, although it's a little ways out there
according to the info I have, there is a Brita (born in 1854) that married an Endre Sveinson Kjønnegard in 1874 & went to America in 1880, & Brita's mother, Ingri K. Kvamme was the daughter of Knut S. Kvamme, who was the son of Svein V. Kvamme, whose sister was Anna V. Kvamme who married Nils Nilsson Berge & their son was Knut N. Berge who married Guri Olsdtr. Kvamme, & they had a daughter named Ingri who went on to marry Ola E. (nedre) Oppheim, & they are/were my great-great-grandparents)
so, if it's the same Brita, we might be something like 5th or 6th cousins once removed:
the scions of: Viking Daveson Kjønnegard & Kristi Sveinsdtr. nedre Fenno
siblings: Svein (V. Kvamme) & Anna (V. Kvamme/Berge)
1st cousins: Knut (S. Kvamme) & Knut (N. Berge)
2nd cousins: Ingri (K. Kvamme) & Ingri (K. Berge)
3rd cousins: a grandmother of yours (Brita) & a great-grandfather of mine
4th cousins: a parent of yours & a grandfather of mine
5th cousins: you & a parent of mine
6th cousins: any child of yours & me
& also, would like to post another name out here now, I discovered I have some relatives that settled around Yankton, South Dakota, but instead of keeping their last name Op(p)heim after they arrived in America, the mother used the last name Sampson for her & the children (apparently the father, Samson, had passed away in Norway(?) (I think)) at least that's the name she used until she married a "Per Steffason Hole", as for the kids, they were Gjøri, Eirik, Ola, Ola, (one died young), Ågota, Synneva, Marta, & Lars & as far as I know all born in Norway but wound up in America with the last name Sampson, So if there are any Sampsons out there that can trace a bit of their history back to Yankton or recognize any of those names, it would be interesting to see or hear something from you!

To North, Thanks for the info. Endre and Britta are the ones you refer to. They are my Grandparents. They came to america with two children and had nine more in south dakota. My Dad was the baby of the family and I am the baby of our family. I am sure we are related. Where are you located?
Thanks again.

thanks, Stephanie Beloit!
rkjone01, I'm in North Dakota for now, but it looks like you're traveling to Norway soon, & I would guess you'd rather get in contact with some relatives that are over there instead, so if that's the case, let me know.
anneg, I don't think I really have any reason to believe that the Bagstads were formerly Bygstads at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind, is the e-mail address yours, or somebody else's?
(jeg tror ikke Bagstad familien het Bygstad i fortiden, men jeg skal prøve å huske på den muligheten når jeg leter etter hvor i Norge de kom i fra, er e-mail adressen din eller noen andres?) |

| I'm near Hettinger, which is close to the border between the Dakotas. If you do come around this area, just look us up in the phone book (all the Opheims listed in the book under Hettinger are part of the same family) & give us a call, or send me an e-mail. |

Oppheim church? Is that somewhere in the US? Must be, I don't know of one like that in Norway.
Why don't you write to the county historical society, or the local genealogical society. Check the online genealogical and/or historical webpages about that county for possible listings of cemetery locations or even look for a published book about the county history. |
