I am looking for Thomas Quistad born Norway 1882. I don't know if Quistad is his name in Norway or the farm he came from I have no other info. he went to the USA and died in 1962 in California. He married Alvina Josaphine Halvorsen from Minnesota, USA.
Thank you,
Renee, USA |

His family name must come from a farm.
Qvistad (or Kvistad) is found in Hjørundfjord, Møre og Romsdal and Inderøen, Nord-Trøndelag.
Only one Thomas has been found born in 1881 at Sakshaug, Inderøen, but he does not come from the farm Kvistad.
More info is needed - names - dates - etc. |

Good Morning,
I do not have anything else on him. I only know he was born in Norway 1881 or 1882 his last name Quistad does not have the usual Sen or Datter so I thought maybe Quistad was his farm. He went to America probably after 1900 and married one of my Halvorsens. I have no other info on him. The Thomas you mentioned could that be him?
Thank you,
Renee |

Thanx for your help. I can not read the parents but if you don't think it is him I guess parents don't matter. i just thought it was worth a try.
Have a nice evening,

The Thomas that Jan Peter found is probably the correct one. The 1920 census lists
Surname GivenName Age Sex Race Birthplace State County Location
QUISTAD THOMAS 38 M W NORW MT JEFFERSON 2-WD; WHITEHALL; SCHOOL DIST 4
Year of immigration is listed as 1903.
His California death record lists his birthdate as Feb 7 1882.

Interesting!
Thomas father Arne Gullliksen was in 1865 a servant at the Kvistad farm, he was born in Ørsta in Volda, see #13
The farmer at Kvistad in 1865 was Truels Arnesen, Karolines father, and she was not yet married.
Karoline was actually christened Anne Caroline, see #35 and her mother was Oline Birgithe Olsdatter. |
