Getting to Know my family
Please connect with the Quittem family tree and let's have a reunion - or a first time meeting party. I would love to hear all about how we came to this country from Norway and how we got divided into the Quittem's and the Kvittems. And all the other tid bits and gossip only families know about each other. My father was Leonard Quittem - from Wonamingo Mn.

Re: Getting to Know my family
Hello,
I do have family from Wanamingo, MN - however, they are from my grandma's side. My grandfather was Melvin Quittem (Kvittem). I'm not sure where he was raised (born in the 1920's).

Re: Getting to Know my family
I am from Kenyon, MN right next to Wanamingo most of my immediate family lives in this area. Where are you from?
|
Hello,
Are you related to Mel and Phyllis Quittem? If you are, I would be interested in learning more about your family.
|
Hello,
Melvin and Phyllis are my paternal grandparents. Do you know my family?
|
Mel and Phyllis Quittem are my parents. My dad died in 1960.

Re: Getting to Know my family
I wish I had information to share, unfortunately I know very little about my ancestry. I believe that my grandmother Kay (deceased) was born in Minnesota as well as her first husband Dean Kvittem and one of their three children, Terry (my father--also deceased). With a last name like Kvittem, I figure more than likely, somewhere, way way way back, we're probably connected. Good luck on your search.

You are my second cousin, once removed.
I believe your lineage is John Borstad -> Johan Kvittem -> Ingmar Kvittem -> Dean Kvittem -> Terry Kvittem -> Karma

Re: Getting to Know my family
Please see my posting on the ancestry.com message board for the answer to you question about how we got here and something about our names.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough information to provide you with your lineage, but I know you are a relative if you are from the Wanamingo Quittems.
