i ALSO just started looking into my grandfathers side of the
family. I know very little about him, except he was born in
Norway and came to U.S. and lived in Minnesota for awhile
and then moved out to Washington state. He had one brother
that I had heard about. The Quam brothers both married
two Olson girls. His name was Martin Quam and I think he
did cement work and farming. Do you have any info on this?
Hope to hear from you. Marilyn

Hi Linda, My Great Grandfather, Peter Eric (Erickson) Kelly was from Lom, Oppland , Norway. His name before he or his family came over here was Kwamme. Because of the language barrier it was changed. I would be very interested to hear from you! I am trying to find out more about his family. He lived in Osseo, Wisconsin.

I am looking to make a connection to the Quam family
who were born in Norway. I often wonder if maybe there
was another spelling. Contact me at mhurlow@msn.com

You could find spellings such as Kvam, Qvam, etc. All based on what sounded the same.

Hi Rolf,

I'm trying to track down my Kvamme ancestry, particularly Bernt A. Kvamme (B: 1858 in Oldedalen, Norway; D: 1901 in Minnesota) and his wife Sigrid Peterson Kvamme (born Eide; B: 1858 in Olden, Norway; D: 1931 in Norman County, Minnesota).

Please let me know if you have any leads on them.
Thank you,
Amber Babcock

I have a great-grandfather born in Alta, Finnmark, Norway. His original name was Alfred Kvamme. I know he married a woman named Hannah Elizabeth (last name unknown). They moved to Alaska, changing his last name to Andersen, but his brother kept the last name Kvamme. Eventually, went to Akiak, Alaska, had two sons, named Raymond Andersen and Melvin Andersen. I know that they mined for gold and some herded reindeer but would love to know more if anyone has information. I have photos, but no information to go with them.
