--------

Not known if John Peter Quisberg's
Parents immigrated from Norway
to the USA. ( Many with name Peter
in this Family. It appears that
Peter was named after his Grandfather
Peter Quisberg of Norway.)

Peter's Father given name
in Norway may have been may
be John Petersen Quisberg.
Or Pedersen. Possibly
the Son of Peter or Peder
from Norway. Petter spelling
is often sited in earlier
records for this Family,
Peter is the name often
sited in later records in USA.

Historical Norwegian Naming Practice:
(this may need editing)
Far better information online

1. Given name to child
(There was tradition with First
name)

2. Patronymic name to child.
Childs name includes the given
name of their Father and also
including sen, son for male child
dotter, datter, dtr for female child
( Norway tradition was for child's
middle name to be Father's first
name with Sen or Son for the son's
name and then the Norwegian Farm name.

Father Peter's Son in Norway would
have Petersen or Peterson as Middle
name or Patronymic name in Norway.
If it was Petersen in Norway, sometimes
Peterson after immigration to USA.
(more to this)

3. Farm Name- Name of the Farm
where they were born or lived in Norway.
Their last name, the Farm name, would
change if they moved to a different
Farm in Norway.

(It does appear Klaape Farm may be
the right Norwegian Farm for some
of their Family. )
Thore Olsdotter Klack (Klaape)
was possibly Ole's or Ols daughter
and possibly living at the Klaape
Farm in Norway. Not known.
If persons married or moved to
a different farm in Norway,
their last name often changed to that
Farm name. If a Husband moved to
the Farm owned by the Wife's Family
and resided there, the Husband took
on the Farm Name of the Wife's
Family Farm. ( This applies if they
were living at a Farm in Norway)
The Farm name last name practice
in Norway appears to stopped as of
sometime in recent generations.
There is better explanation of this
online. Sometimes Persons who
immigrated from Norway kept their
Farm name after Immigration to America.
Some used their Patronymic name as
their last name in the USA. Some
shortened their name up in the USA.
Or Olsen to Olson. Petersen in
Norway to Peter here for middle
name. Norwegian Farm spelling
if used for surname of the person who
immigrant may be same spelling in USA
or changed after Citizenship. varies.

Some Persons kept their Patronic
last name, others kept their
Farm surname, others used both
or changed spelling of their surname
after immigration to the USA.

Peter P. Quisberg and his Spouse
Anna Erickson Quisberg ,
some of their Children are laid
to rest at the same cemetery as
Peter Theodor Quisberg and Helga Quisberg.
Peter P. Quisberg, his Spouse Anna
and their Children were also
Members of the Zion Lutheran Church
of Belgrade Stearns MN per ELCA
archives. They also resided in
Crow Lake Stearns Co. MN in
1880 Census with their Children.
Peter P. Quisberg was born in
Norway and he was a Farmer.
His Spouse Anna was born
in Sweden.

The names of Peter P. Quisberg's
Parents are not known to this writer.
Peter P. Quisberg was also Petter in
earlier records and Peter after living
in USA a while. Peter P. Quisberg's
Parents may be the same Parents as
John P. Quisberg, especially with
the middle intial P. in his name.
Per some sites it appears both of
their middle names (Patrnymic)
were Petersen or Pedersen in Norway.
(not confirmed)

Not known if Quisberg was the
Norwegian Farm name or same
Spelling for the Farm the Family
resided while in Norway. There
are references for a Quisberg
Farm in Norway that was sited
in a post that included Svartsum,
Guesadahl in Gudbrandsdalen area
post. There was a Klaape Farm in
that area. It is not known where
their Quisberg Farm in Norway
or if Quisberg was their
correct Norwegian Farm name.
Not known if their Family
Farm was in Oppland Norway.
This Family's Norwegian Parish
in Norway is not known. Likely
the resided where there Parish
was located. There are many
United States ELCA Lutheran
Church Records for this Family.

There is references for
Klaape Westre Gausdel
Gudbransdalen Norway
for Peter P. Quisberg's
Father and Mother.
Peter Mother's Farm name may be
Klaape. Not known. Norway Records
not accessed at this time to
confirm. There were many from
Gudbransdalen Norway immigrating
to the USA and the Midwest about
the time Peter's Father
immigrated to the USA. It does
appear this Family has connection
to the Klaape Farm.

Peter Theodor Quisberg's Father's
Mother may have been born in
Klappe Guasdal Gudbrandsdalen
Norway. Their Farm name changed
if they moved to a different
Farm. If Quisberg was their Farm
name, he would have to live
at the Quisberg Farm.

It appears per Norway Marriages
Peder Ostensen married
Thora Olsdatter in
Ostre Gausdal Opland Norway
March 30, 1838. When Persons
in Norway moved to a different
Parish or Farm, their surname
used to change. (not confirmed, but
likely John P. Quisberg's
Parents.) This could apply to
both the Klaape and Quisberg
surnames. Not known.

First Name Peter in the USA was
often Peder, Petter in
Norway. Or Per Peder.

---

Peter P. Quisberg is Possibly
brother of John P. Quisberg.
( Peter Theodor Quisberg's Father)
Very likely they are related.
but how is not known. Both Peter's
Parents and Peter P. Quisberg
and Spouse Anna named one of
their daughters Thea O Quisberg.
They were two different Theas
with different dobs, dobs.

It was traditional back then for
Relatives from Norway who immigrated
to Minnesota to save money to
sponsor the next relative to come
to the USA. And then that family sponsored
the next, etc often. Not known if
there were sponsors were for
John Peter Quisberg or Peter P. Quisberg.
Not known one arrived and settled in
Minnesota first or if their Parents
immigrated to USA.

LDS Family Search an arkivverket.
online site via Norway has more
information. The Klaape Farm in
Vestre Gausdal Norway was sited.
Not known if the Klaape Farm
applies to this Family. Quisberg
Farm also sited.
