My husband is a decendant of the Kvaale family from Norway that came to the U.S. in about 1900. When he got here he changed our family name to Quale.
We are trying to trace our family heritage, can anybody help me?

Where are you from? There are many pockets of Quales, and I happen to belong to a Wisconsin branch -- let me know what you know already, and we'll see if I can help you.

Hello--

Unfortunately I do not have any specific information regarding your question, but I heard the same story from my father before his death 25 years ago. His name was James Carroll Quale. His father's name was Carroll Quale, and he had a twin brother named Carl who died when they were very young. My father's mother was Helen and she had 4 children all together. They lived in Indiana until sometime around the early 1950's when they moved to Oklahoma. My father was killed when I was only eleven so I do not know much of my family history. (I was unable to remain close to his family and they are all deceased now.) If you have any information that shows we have a family connection, I would be very grateful to hear it.

Thanks,

Kim Quale-Piper

Hey, you belong to a Wisconsin Branch i read, maybe we are on the same tree, our highest Ancestor is Amanda Stromback and Lewis Edward Qualle. Then I also have some Stromback history,and i am in the process of organizing a gedcom file and tree so when i finish it, maybe we could exchange information if you think there may be a connection.

do oyu happen to know where the Quales were after they came. The Qually name got changed 2x when moving here once for pronunciation and the other one for a more natural old sound(going back to how it used to be pronounced) well if you need any help i can be of service if you could just give em a few names up your branch.
Thanks

Surnames: kvale, kvaale, nordgarden, bakken
These families lived on various farms in Norway-Reindal, Dale/Dalen, Bakken, Felland...go to www.familysearch.com and search for these. Also try Kvale, Kvaale, Quam, Kvalen, Kvaalen. Also Savison, Saaveson, Nordgarden, and Nordgaarden. Hope this helps. Kvale families trace way way back and are linked to royals, Norwegian and from other countries! I am looking for the parents of Torjus Anundsen Kvalen, b. 1834 or 35. Torjus and his family are found in the census in Mo, Telemark. Wife is Margit Larsdatter b. 1840, found their daughter Gunhild Torjusson, but not his parents. Does anyone have a clue?

Surnames: STROMBACK
My great aunt was Ella Lillian BRUNNER (1903-1965), married to Nelbert Benjamin STROMBACK (1901-1988). They lived in Minnesota. My mom remembers them well. She knows that they had 4-5 children; Merrill and Charles were the oldest. Are these names in your tree? Any help is appreciated!
