I am looking for info on Tvedt/Twait Surname. My G-Grandfather Sivert came from the Klungtvedt farm in Nedstrand or Nerstrand Norway. He settled in the LaSalle / Kendall Co. Area in Illinois.I believe his original surname was Nilson , or Nilsson. I'm not sure how he spelled it. If this sounds familiar to anyone please write back.
Thank-you,
Julie

Surnames: Klungtvedt/Klungtveit???
Well this is interesting as i have seen this site a lot ... look at it:

My name was Klungtvedt but changed it to honor the man who raised me. I am trying to find my family in Norway as well and the only one alive is an uncle who won't talk to me. I was told we came from what was called the Klungtedt farm as well but the only Klungtvedts i can find in Norway live in Sandnes and Stavenger. The klungtvedt or Klungtveit farm are is i believe east of Nedstrand and is a small small town or village called Klungtveit actually so it is all very confusing which area my family comes from so if that helps i am glad but if you can help me i would appreciate it as well. My family settled in the North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa areas of this country but my wife and i live in Alaska now which is ironic as it is simular to western Norway. :)
Well all for now,
Tony

Hi Tony!
Sorry I have been offline for about 4 years. I just got a new computer (the old one crashed)and have decided to try to rebuild my family tree. I see that this post is about a year old so I wont waste time in case this is an invalid post. Long story short, Klungtvedt/Klungtveit was really the farm name,not the last name. Anyway, if this is still active, please write back, and we can compare notes then.
Love and Light,
Julie Dodge

I have found most of what I needed to know. My family came from the Klungtvedt farm in a area called Jelse or Jelsa east of nedstrand on the other side of that fjord area. The other half came from the Rosendal area and were nobility. I have it confirmed back to the early 1300's though I can go to the time of Christ it cannot be confirmed as there was no records before the time I got to in the early 1300's. I am still working on it but am impressed with what I have found to this date though. :)
