Emigration from Bergen on June 15th, 1883:
Lars Knutsen Kvinge b 1835
Aase Larsdatr Kvinge b 1839
Ragnhild Larsdatr Kvinge b 1860
Knut Larssen Kvinge b 1860
Severin Larssen Kvinge b 1873

Siri b. 1865 is not listed in the confirmation records, and not listed with the family at the emigration, so she could have died young.

Anyway; this means that Leif Aamund's family on his fathers side from Kvinge all emigrated to America, so any relatives in Norway are very distant.
I think your best option to find any relatives in Norway would be through Ingaborg Anna Anderson.

I just got back on this site after about a week and oh my lord, you people have found a whole bunch of information on my family. I don't even know where to start, this information is like looking at my family tree. I just found out that Anders Svor was a relative of my Grandma Ingaborgh Anna Anderson who's grandparents were Anders and Brite Svord from Hornsdal today and I thought that was amazing. I get on this site and see all this. I don't know how to thank you all! Charlotte Knutsen

Here is wood carver Anders Svor in census-1865, listed as Anders Rasmussen (1 yr)
His parents are farmer Rasmus Arnesen Svor (1835–1914) and Ragnhild Olsdatter Seljeset (1834–1902).

Anders and Brite Svord from Hornindal which you refer to are probably living on the same farm, listed as
Anders Olsen (51) and Brithe Knudsdatter (58). Anders is a schoolteacher and he is Rasmus Arnesens' stepfather.

Arne Rasmussen & Brite Knudsdr had the following children:
Rasmus Arnesen born 02 Jan 1831, chr 02 Jan 1831, Eid, Sogn Og Fjordane
Lucreta Ragnilde Arnesdatter born 28 Jan 1832, chr 12 Feb 1832, Eid, Sogn Og Fjordane
Rasmus Christofer Arnesen born 05 Mar 1835, chr 08 Mar 1835, Eid, Sogn Og Fjordane
Knud Iver Arnesen - born 19 Jan 1838, chr 19 Jan 1838, Eid, Sogn Og Fjordane
Christoffer Hans Arnesen born 17 Apr 1840, chr 17 Apr 1840, Eid, Sogn Og Fjordane
Ingeborg Laurentze Arnesdatter born 12 Mar 1843, chr 18 Mar 1843, Eid, Sogn Og Fjordane

Arne Rasmussen must have died 1842-1845, and Brite married Anders Olsen.

Anders Olsen & Brite Knudsdr had the following children:
Anne Oline Andersen, born 26 NOV 1845, chr 30 NOV 1845, Eid, Sogn Og Fjordane
Ole Andreas Andersen, born 25 APR 1849, chr 25 APR 1849, Eid, Sogn Og Fjordane
Synneve Ingeborg Andersen, born 19 MAR 1853, chr 28 MAR 1853, Eid, Sogn Og Fjordane

Your Grandma Ingaborgh Anna Anderson is in census-1900 listed as Ingeborg Anna Olsdatter. She is the daughter of Ole Andreas Andersen, born 25 APR 1849 and Oline Eriksdatter b 1858.

Thus; Brithe Knudsdr Svor is the mother of Rasmus Christofer Arnesen (b 05 Mar 1835), who is the father of wood carver Anders Svor (b. 14 Dec 1864).
Brithe Knudsdr is also the mother of Ole Andreas Andersen (b. 25 APR 1849), who is the father of your grandma Ingaborg Anna Anderson (b. 1896).

=> Anders Svor and Ingaborg Anna Anderson are first cousins.

Ingaborg Anna's parents must at some time have emigrated to America, because her two brothers Anders b 1885 and Egil b 1887 are listed as born in America. The family must have returned to Norway between 1887-1893, when her brother Ingvald are born.

Earlier; you mentioned "Synnove Lathe".
In census-1900 where you find Ingeborg Anna; there's a Jakob Jensen Lothe listed, who is the son of Synneve Eriksdatter.
Synneve is prob. a daughter of Erik Larsen Brendefur, and thus a sister of Oline Eriksdatter. Synneve is noted as "Madame teacher Lothe". Her husband (teacher Jens Lothe?) is absent.

=> Jakob Jensen Lothe and Ingaborg Anna Anderson are first cousins.

You'll find a lot of Brendefur in Hornindal which are probably related to this family.

- which Grandpa do you mean?
Leif Aamund Knutsen, which actually should be Leif Aamund Ludvigsen (son of Ludvig Larsen, Kvinge)
or,
Ole Severin Rasmusen?

Do you know that Ingaborg Anna Olsdatter grandparents, i.e. Anders Olsen (her grandfathers father) and and Ingeborg Olsdatter (her grandmothers mother) were siblings and that Ragnilde Olsdatter (your mothers grandmother) was their sister?

As I may have mentioned I have located an Anders Svor through google. I told him about my grandma Ingaborgh Ann and he did some research and wrote back to me stating that we are indeed related. Even after sending him two seperate emails, he hasn't responded since. I would think that this info from him would open some doors for me, but I feel I've hit a dead end with him as he hasn't written back. I so appreciate all of your help and I will continue my research with info that has been provided to me on this site.

Hi Charlotte,

I might have a few relatives in commom, and thought I'd pass on my research!

Leif Aamund Knutsen is my great-great uncle. One of his brothers, Morris, married my great grandma (Anna Giesler). I have Leif listed as having 5 children: Leif, Ida, Iris, Ruth and Elmer. These are cousins to my grandma (Anna/Morris's daughter). I vaguely remember photo's of Ruth, Iris and my grandma. Grandma is living, but I couldn't be certain about the cousins.


It sounds like I'm one generation under you (I'm 28).

Here's a link to the family tree I have put together on MyHeritage: http://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-74591591/moats.

*UPDATE* I found a prison/court record for Leif A Knutson with some very interesting information! I can email the files if wanted... just let me know


Let me know if anything helps!
Good luck with your searching!

I am great-grandson of Ingeborg`s cousin Oline Serine Larsdatter Brendefur.

Ingeborg Anna`s mother Oline Serine Eriksdatter Brendefur was sister of my great-great grandfather Lars Eriksen Brendefur. The siblings were:

1. Brite Laurentse Eriksdatter Brendefur 1850-1924
married to Rasmus Abrahamsen Solheim 1846-1920
They were farmers in Hornindal.

2. Elisa Eriksdatter Brendefur 1853-1934
married to Lars Olsen Flore 1850-1913
They were farmers in Minnesota.

3. Lars Eriksen Brendefur 1855-1946
married to Karoline Marie Hansdatter Åsebøstøl 1863-1932
They were farmers in Eid.

4. Synnøve Eriksdatter Brendefur 1861-1861

5. Synnøve Eriksdatter Brendefur 1862-1951
married to Jens Jakobsen Lothe 1963-1944
Teacher in Volda and Ålesund.

6. Ingeborg Eriksdatter Brendefur 1865-1955
married to Lars Larsen Tomasgaard 1865-1946
They were farmers in Hornindal.

Of Ingeborg Anna`s siblings I know these:

1. Anders Julius Anderson 1885-1904
Born i Minnesota and died in Washington.

2. Egil Bertinus Anderson 1887-1975
Married to his cousin Ingeborg Tomasgaard 1902-1990
He was born in Minnesota, and died in Ålesund.

3. Ingvald Ludvig Anderson 1893-1960
married to Juliana Ringstad 1896-1978
Born in Norway, and died in Washington.

The parents at Brendefur was Erik Larsen Brendefur 1826-1912 and Ingeborg Olsdatter Seljeset 1825-1907.
I have pictures of them. I also have a picture of Erik`s father Lars Eriksen Brendefur 1782-1878.
