wow, i didnt realize their were so many Tveits! my maiden name is Poole, but my mothers name is Tveit, im not sure where in Norway they are from, but the first Tveit was related to a Hokon(norweigian king) this Teveit was the king's grandson, later on the name was changed to a few times, and eventually became Tveit but in the late 1600's im not exactly sure, the original Tveit family for some reason lost rule, and moved to america in the 1900's.
