My Great Grandfather was John Kvalheim born Oct 4, 1866 at Kvalheim in Sellø, Vågsøy, Nordfjord, confirmed October 1881, son of Jakob Knutson born 1829, and Lisebet Samsonsdatter born 1826 and sister of Aleta Jakobsdatter born 1864. John came to America April 1888, and lived in Lake Mills and Scraville. His first friends in Lake Mills was John Amundson Rodberg from his neighborhood in Norway. Have letters from Aletta Rodberg . Who was a widow when she came to USA with small children. I also have a letter to Onkel John from a Vilhelm Pedersen his nephew (Broders son) in 1911, then living in Bremerton, WA.
I am now searching the Vågsøy church records at the LDS for more information. Appreciate all suggestions.
