I am pretty sure these are related to the ones I asked about. Do you have any idea of when about they were born. May be I can get someone to look up some censuses for me The name is not that common so I am sure they are related.

Thanks for your response! My best guess is that they were probably born in the mid to late 1890's - give or take a few yrs - they were related to my father - (cousins) - my father took the name of the Norwegain area he was born in which was Vallestad - his name on his emigration info was "Ingolf Ellingson" - these were the cousins he came and lived with when he arrived in America. Look forward to further info from you.

From where you said your ancestor where from I don't think we are talking about the same families. Those I am looking for and know anything about are the Kvalstads from the farm Kvalstad in the Namdalen aera in Nord Trøndelag and there is no Vallstad there.

Since the name is quite rare, I think it is still possible there may be a connection - I do not know where in Norway my father's cousins originated from. It could well be that they were from a part of Norway that I have not uncovered yet. I only know for sure that they lived in Minot, North Dakota back in the 30's and 40's.

My Dad John Alan Kvalstad was born June 4 1919 in Sioux City Iowa. He died April 1984. He had a sister Helen, Brother Arthur and Brother Gordon. His Father, Ole Kvalstad came to the US with Amelia Anderson and her family probably between late 1800's and 1910. Ole passed in 1928 or 1929.
I am looking for any relatives! Contact me via email carolnnk@msn.com-

Hi Carolyn

Do you have any idea of when your grandfather
was born? I have a Ole Andreas Kvalstad in my file
born in 1884, and I have mentioned Dakota, USA next to his name,
presumely he emigrated to the USA.

I also have an Ole Andreassen Kvalstad born in 1851 who died in 1919
in the
USA married to a Hanna Olsdatter Ækra

Mind you there are Kvalstad farms 3 places in Norway

200 Kvalstad Ringsaker Ringsaker Hedemarkens amt
113 Kvalstad Svanø (Stavanger) Kinn Nordre Bergenhus amt
22 Kvalstad Skage Overhallen Nordre Trondhjems amt
This is the one I know about.

Have you tried to get his naturalizations paper, provided he became an
American citizen. With luck it migth state
where in Norway he came from and even his parents name.

Thanks for your reply - appreciate any efforts you may make - Helga & Laura had a brother whose name escapes me now but he had a hardware store in Minot, N.D. back in the 40's. Good Luck! I will try to see if I can get any more info, too. Seems to me my father's cousins had a mother named Hanna.
