I have several relatives living in Norway that I am trying to locate. My grandpa's Norwegian name was Leif Aamund Kvinge, he was given the last name "knutsen" at Ellis Island. My grandmother's maiden name was Ingaborg Anna Anderson. One of my relatives was Anders Svor, a wood carver from Styn, Norway. There is a museum in Stryn named after him. One very distant relative had the name of Peder Satre. I don't want to make my first posting too long, so any advice would be appreciated if any of those names are familiar to anyone.

Finding living relatives is not easy.
Bringing up information here can be a good start.
Some add. information, could be someone look into this topic.
Anders Svor 1864-1929 born on Svor in Hornindal was a sculptor with exhibitions in Europe and USA.
Could be your granfathers name in Norway was Leif Aamund Knutsen Kvinge.
Peder Satre could bee Peder Sætre in Norway.

Perhaps you could write to the museum and see if they have any information on the Svor family.
Click on the link and you will find an address.

I assume your grandfatter or his parents was from Kvinge in Masfjorden north of Bergen, same County, Hordaland.

He came threw Ellis Island 1903.
Pleace don´t be confused, but I have a question for you since your granpa seems to be nonexisting in the 1900 census for Norway.
Did your Granpa have a namesake in USA.
Leif Osmund (Knutsen) Kvinge born June 16. 1891 in Ruthon, Pipestone, Minn, to Knud and Kari Kvinge.

I was once told by my father, Herb Knutsen that his father, Aamund Knutsen Kvinge came through Ellis Island in 1903. This possibly could be incorrect information. My Grandfather Leif Aamund Knutse Kvinge was born in Norway in 1886 and died in 1955 in Everett, Wa.
My Grandpa Leif's parents were named Ludvig Knudson and Martha Hanson. I found our family tree today and the last name Kvinge goes way back for us.
I didn't realize this search would be so difficult but I won't give up.
One living relative that I know of is named Synnove Lathe, I'm not sure where in Norway she lives or how to get ahold of her. |

Using the link to the search engine above you can look for people in Norway. There is no Synnove Lathe listed but there is a Synnøve Lothe listed. If this person looks to be the person you think is a relative you can look up her address using 1881 Kart and clik on Søk to get an address to send her a letter. You can also look up people in the Norwegian version of white pages. Click on the link below, type her name in the big white box, do not worry about the Norwegian ø just type o and the system will take care of that, click search and scroll down to the names.

Ludvig Knudson = Ludvig Larsen born Dec 21 1862, see #52 his parents were Lars Knudsen and Aasa Larsdatter at Nordre Qvinge.
Martha Hanson = Marthe Nielsine Samuelsdatter born March 11 1864, see #17 her parents were Samuel Hansen and Nicoline Nielsdatter, Lyngbøe.
