Surnames: Kvalheim, Refik
My G Grandfather was Johann Andreas Jacobson Kvalheim, Born on October 4, 1866 in Vaagsaa, Norway. He had a sister named Aletta who was married to a Refik and lived in Raudeberg. I have been unable to make a connection with his parents. On his marriage license in 1890 in Forect City, IA USA he names father as John Knutson and mother as Elizabeth Sampson. He emigrated from Bergen 26 April 1888. His occupation in Norway was a Whaler.
Any information regarding any of this information will be greatly appreciated.
