I'm from the Darnell lineage if we use the father's last name. On my mother's side, she was a Bahm, her mother from Was from Talvik, Finmark, Norway. When Louise Sands (Bahm) married she and her husband Tojus aka Tom immigrated in 1888 to the USA. The last name of the husband and wife becomes the town the husband came from. So their married last name became Sands. So in America, Petrine Jorgine Hansdatter Kvamme becomes Petrine Sands. The Darnell's can easily be traced back to Mary's Land aka Maryland and relative Henry Darnell was given much land, like about 30 thousand acres...which as time went on he distributed the land to his Darnell relatives. I see Darnell records back to something like 1650 coming to USA. We helped the founders and held state positions. I've got our Darnell and Kvamme/Sands history well done on Geni.com.
